2022-02-04 Peter Kehl 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.
2020-09-14 tipar Hay addons que tienen ochentamil opciones y van fatal. Esta, en cambio, para lo que hace que es sencillamente poner en silencio automáticamente las pestañas nuevas que abres, va genial. Es una de las pocas extensiones de las que no he buscadp alternativas porque como digo, genial.
2020-07-20 Firefox user 16153649 bugs... Seems to mutes the wrongs tabs with no icon available.
2020-02-26 Firefox user 15697696 Fantastic. Simply does what it needs to do. I would add an option to make the "muted" tab icon transparent though, it attracts too much attention.
