Allows to manage the mute state of a group (or all) tabs to only keep the currently focused one of the group unmuted and mute the others. Quick-Change via Toolbar Button and permanent ex/inclusion via preferences Short Demo Video: https://github.com/igorlogius/mute-unfocused-tabs/assets/67047467/8d8e7df5-fe6a-42ae-bf86-309f8e05dff2 Usage: Simple (Automatic Mode)

All Tabs are managed, click the toolbar icon, to toggle the manage or unmanaged state each tab.
The List on the preference page allows to make default exclusions (set unmanaged sites/urls via regex) (Sites which you want to hear audio from when they are not focused)

Usage: Advanced (Manual Mode)

Needs to be enabled on the preference page
All Tabs are now unmanaged
click the toolbar icon, to toggle the manage or unmanaged state each tab.
The list on the preference page now allows to make default inclusions (set managed sites/urls via regex) (Sites which you dont want to hear audio from when they are not focused)

Sidenote: If the mute icon on the tabs is annoying to you, you can hide it via userChrome.css. .tab-secondary-label[muted] { display: none !important; } PS: Dont forget to enable the about:config switch that enables it. Notes:

Can/Should i trust this addon? You can view the source code by either visiting the Homepage/Support Site or just saving/downloading the XPI (which is really just a ZIP Archive) and then extract it locally. The Sources in the XPI should be unofuscated and unminified (HTML,CSS and JS), so it's as easy to read as possible. Alternatives you can also use the CRX Viewer Extension by Rob W to inspect the XPI sources. If you have an questions, you can also open an issue on the support site and i'll try and answer to the best of my abilities. If you are no programmer and are still feeling unsure, you might want to visit one of the official or unoffical mozilla communities and ask if someone there with more knowlege can take a look.
