How can I set in advance a preference for a new tab, tabs and/or web pages to open w/ muted audio in FF 45?

Are there settings in about:config that I can change to have a new tab, tabs and/or web pages open w/ muted audio, instead of having to mute it after it opens from menus, right clicking or the player itself? Or is there an add-on for this? When researching a topic and opening multiple tabs to view that contain loaded audio/video content, I would prefer to go back and hear them at my discretion when I'm done w/ my search of selecting tabs I want to view, rather than having to stop and turn off the audio or scurry in going back to each tab I've opened to find to mute the tab/tabs playing audio I'm not ready to hear yet. I find this annoying. For efficiency I would like them to open and load in a tab/new tab, but not have the audio on automatic playback. My gratitude for responses and solutions extended.

Thank you siddheshdixit for your time and effort in answering my question. I knew I could click on the sound icon to mute/unmute the individual tab; couldn't find/know the name of the add-on you posted--thanks much, I've added it. Still I would prefer not to have to do this manually on the initial tab for subsequent tabs each FF session. Would be nice to find a way to set as a preference in about:config or add-on to do ONCE as a setting and then forget it. Thanks again.

P.S- Mute Tab add-on didn't work that great. Worked on initial tab and in opening a new tab using "Mute All Tabs", but when opening another new tab, it was unmuted and had to be muted manually. Additionally, when ready to listen to an opened new tab that was muted, the icon on the tab overrides the play button on the player and I must then click on the new tab mute/unmute icon to play the audio/video. A workaround, but not a browser set-it-once-and-forget-it setting. Guess that has yet to be developed?
