Please update your version of Firefox for the latest features and security updates.
Firefox lets you identify noisy tabs and mute them in a single click. Silence tabs quickly without affecting your other tabs or windows.
When sound starts playing on a webpage, Firefox lets you know where it's coming from by displaying a speaker button in the tab:
Important: Tabs for pages with Flash content will not have a speaker button and you will not be able to mute the sound, if Flash Player version 20.0.0.235 is installed. This is a bug that should be fixed in a future Flash Player update.
Clicking the speaker button will turn the sound off or on for that tab alone:
Mute a tab
- Click the speaker button to turn off the sound for that tab.
- A line will appear over the button to let you know that the sound is off:
Unmute a tab
- Click the speaker button again to turn the sound back on.
- The line over the button will disappear to let you know that the sound is on.
Keyboard shortcut: To mute or unmute a tab without a mouse, you can also press Ctrl + M while on the tab.
