Hi,

I'm looking for an addon or native functionality that mutes Firefox sound when I minimize Firefox to the taskbar. I have Googled for it and looked in the extension store but couldn't find it. Anyone know of such addon or functionality?

Thanks

Hi   !

Before you minimize : click te speaker button on the tab, or (better still) : press the mute key on your keyboard (unless your keyboard doesn't have that key).

There is an add-on, but I wouldn't recommend it, as it hasn't been updated for years and probably won't work with Firefox 57 + :

Thanks for your reply. I'm familiar with the speaker button on the tabs which is very handy. However, I need to have something that just auto mutes Firefox when I minimize it without the need to click the speaker.

This may not be what you want either, but giving it a shot anyway :

Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preference : media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground and set its value to true

Nopes didn't do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Do you want to stop the active player(s) or only mute the sound?
