Firefox lets you identify noisy tabs and mute them in a single click. Silence single tabs quickly without affecting your other windows.

When sound starts playing on a webpage, Firefox lets you know where it's coming from by displaying a speaker icon on the tab: 
;[[Image:speaker tab 42]]

=Mute a tab=
#Click the speaker icon to turn off the sound for that tab. 
#;[[Image:speaker tab 42]]
#A line will appear over the icon to let you know that the sound is off: 
#;[[Image:audio off tab 42]]

=Unmute a tab=
#Click the speaker icon again to turn the sound back on. 
#;[[Image:tab mute 42]]
#The line over the icon will disappear to let you know that the sound is on.
