User reviews
The Notification Sound Firefox add-on is praised for its simplicity, customization, and usefulness in adding notification sounds to apps and downloads where native sounds are lacking. It works well for download completion alerts and Microsoft Teams notifications. However, multiple users report issues with sound not playing from various popular websites and notifications only working when the browser is active on the relevant tab. Permission errors and UI options like hiding context menus are also concerns. Overall, the add-on meets basic needs but has limited functionality on many sites and under background use.
Pros
- Simple and convenient to use with easy customization options
- Works well for download completion notifications
- Useful for platforms lacking native notification sounds, such as Microsoft Teams and certain VoIP apps
- Supports system notifications in Firefox, enhancing usability
- Allows muting notifications for specific websites
Cons
- Fails to play notification sounds from various popular sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Twitch, Telegram, and Moneycontrol
- Sound notifications only work when Firefox is active and the user is on the specific tab; does not work when Firefox is running in background or another app is active
- Occasional errors related to permissions preventing sounds from playing
- Lack of option to hide the add-on's tab context menu, which some users find unnecessary
- Some users mistrust permissions requested by the add-on and its access to browser download history
