It's a weird add-on. It affects the synchronisation between the video and audio across various video streaming sites. It brings in audio delays when active. Moreover, it automatically whitelists a website when its tab is unmuted. So further reloads do not mute the previously unmuted website by default. That setting could however be changed in the "Preferences" section of the add-on. More than relying on third party add-ons.. it's better if websites default to 50% volume while playing any media when they get freshly loaded for the very first time(before cookies save the preferred volume, set manually, for the subsequent loads).

Please allow users to configure the addon to let us see website favicons rather than the speaker icon on muted tabs. The speaker icons complicate multi-tab browsing.

Adds a clickable mute icon to every tab whether or not it's playing sound. Ugly clutter.

Is there a way to keep the site icon in tab, instead of having every one be muted icon?

Also an alarm addon I use got muted as well. I have tried to add it to whitelist but no success. Any way to solve this?

need some blacklist so only x sites are muted default.

This plugin keeps crashing ff instance

Sehr praktisch, einwandfreie Funktion

Works great at what it is supposed to do but it it way too easy to accidentally unmute a tab when switching tabs. When you accidentally unmute a tab, you can't even quickly remute it in the same way but have use a right click menu every time. Even just having this be the opposite would be more helpful.

Only thing that could make this better is if it could mute/unmute sites based on if a certain audio device (such as headphones) are connected or not. Granted, I'm on Windows, so I don't know if that'd work on other OSes, but it'd be nice to have.

so good

Thank you so much - muting domains instead of tabs was the number one Chrome feature I missed. This extension does exactly what I wanted and improves my browsing experience a lot.

I just added this to userChrome.css to remove the ugly "MUTED" label by Firefox:
.tab-secondary-label[muted] {
display: none !important;
}

When I press ctrl+m it mutes/unmutes multiple tabs from the same domain, even though they have different subfolder address. I expected only the current tab to be affected and keep every other tab muted. Would be nice to have different keybinds to whitelist domain and mute/unmute current tab.

Thank you. Works well.

However, with most/all tabs muted, the "muted" icon next to each tab is taking space, it's visually noisy and it hides/replaces the site icon.

Remedy: Hide "muted" icon unless a tab is currently playing sound.

How? create "userChrome.css" file with the following content:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
.tab-icon-overlay:not([soundplaying]) {
display: none;
}
.tab-icon-image:not([soundplaying]) {
opacity: 1 !important;
}

Save that file in chrome folder right under your Firefox profile folder. To locate that, open Firefox special URL about:support and see "Profile Directory". See also https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS.

As someone who forgets he left his speakers on, this addon has been a lifesaver.

Doesn't work anymore. Not sure why, not going to troubleshoot because an alternative is already working without issue, thanks for the last few years though!

Couldn't unmute all tabs when decided to remove the addon. Spending precious time unmuting by hand. Pretty pissed.

why EXACTLY this exists ?!?
if it add all by itself the very one site I REALLY NEED TO MUTE to exceptions ?!??!?!?!?!?

This is great for those annoying mini videos that play on sites that you visit to download a freeware program. They pop up telling you how to install the same kind of programs over and over again its annoying. So this really helps with those videos.
