Will there be an option to mute sounds in tabs inividually in Firefox?

Dear Sir/Madam,
If I'm searching for stuff, I like to open multiple pages in a new tab by clicking on it with the middle-mouse-button.
Sometimes, the page loads sounds while doing this. In turn I have to search in what tab the sound is played, which can be quite annoying.
There is a way to say that Firefox won't start flash-programs, but this is quite annoying and doesn't always solve the problem.
In another browser that I had to use but don't like, tabs show an icon so that you can see which tab has sound, but so far I haven't found any way to make this happen in Firefox.
Will there be an option to at least see which tab has sound in future updates? And if so, will it be possible to mute said tabs?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Lex van de Wiel

I looked into this a couple months ago and concluded at that time: Based on information in the bug tracking database, when a plugin (Flash, QuickTime, Silverlight) is playing audio, it is difficult for Firefox to detect that and difficult to track down to a particular tab.
Hopefully this will be possible in the future. Or maybe someone has created a new add-on.

  • Is there a way to set min and max tab widths in firefox 17 or 18?

    The browser tab width maximum and minimum options are no longer in about:config and the "tab width clip" has no effect on tab width in firefox 17 or 18.

    hello, the browser.tabs.tabClipWidth setting does only specify beyond which width a close button is shown on the tab. in order to set a custom tab size you can use this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-tab-width/

  • Is there a way to automatically mute sound during the night?

    Hello,
    My 77-year old mother doesn't sleep very well and awakes evey time her Mac plays an incoming-email sound. She tries hard to turn off the sound before she goes to bed, but often forgets to do so.
    I wonder if there is a way (apart from sleep or shutdown) that automatically mutes the sound from let's say 23:00 until 08:00. A command, that can be issued from Terminal.app would be fine too, I could run that from cron.
    Kind regards,
    Adam.

    you can do that also with automator workflows, there is an action called "set computer volume", you create two workflows, the firs turn off the volume, the second turn it on. Then you can schedule them with cronnix.
    hope this post can help you.

  • No option to export sound with quicktime

    When i'm trying to export a video clip of various formats, all i'll get is the video, no audio. Upon investigation there is no option to export sound (the half of the settings is unclickable). I do have a sound card with correct drivers installed, and under quicktime preferances the correct device is selected. However, when i am playing a "QUICKTIME MOVIE" I can export with audio. Is there some sort of codec needed, or is there a setting i can change?

    QuickTime Pro doesn't export audio from "muxed" formats (like MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).
    Use MPEG Streamclip (free) for your .mpg files.

  • New window will not open even when "open new window in tab" is checked

    I cannot open a new window even when i have the option "Open new window in tab" checked.
    Firefox will NOT open a new window under any circumstances.
    Also, when I quit Firefox, the system thinks that multiple instances of FF is running but they are invisible to me.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • My iPad2 side switch is acting up, it will only allow me to have either sound or rotate. If I unmute the rotate won't work, if I mute the rotate works. How can I get the iPad to unmute and rotate? I have restored, downloaded updates and rebooted.

    You should be able to control the function that the side switch isn't controlling via the left-hand end of the taskbar : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 - is the icon that appears there (notification mute or rotation lock) indicating that that function is 'off' ?

  • When I go "system preferences" "sound" There is no option to activate the internal speakers. How do I restore it?

    When I go "system preferences" "sound" There is no option to activate the internal speakers. How do I restore it?

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    3. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones.
    4. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    5. Reset the NVRAM.
    6. Reset the SMC.
    7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Will there be an alternative to the current minimalist theme of iOS 7. It is far to small for a handheld instrument. Accessibility does not solve it for me don't know about others. Perhaps offer the old icons and fonts as an option? Easier to view

    I know you can do better you have before.

    lov2bugu, you said things the exact way I wanted to express them! It was like watching me talking to a SONY’s CEO.
    I don’t really think they are not aware of the problems. SONY used to be the 27th largest company in the world, according to Forbes. They are now at the 456th place!!
    They are aware of their problems and I think, the move to buy the remaining stocks from Ericsson, is a move to bounce back into the market. They found the right time, where the stock is too low and the economics around the globe don’t  look promising enough. I have to recognize them, all the bad phases they went into this year … hacking attack, loss of their factory in London, global economic climate etc.
    But these are not excuses good enough not to produce quality, reliable and technologically advanced goods. I think that SONY is not to blame for the bad course SE has had. I think this is what SONY wants to revert. They want to “embody” all their technology … BRAVIA engines (TV Tech), Walkman and Cybershot tech (using Carl Zeiss lenses), VAIO (Comp tech) and finally PS3. Ericsson tried to integrate them, unsuccessfully.
    Overall, I thing SONY, did not have or did not attempt to have the control of SE, hence, the answer you got back from SONY “… anything related to SE must be posted on the website of SE”. I think they will bounce. Just give ‘em some time. I’m willing to give them time, but not too much though. Just because I’ve always loved this brand!

    I have an iMac G5 OS 10.5.6. How do I activate the external microphone port? In gen. pref. 'sound' there is no option for the external port.

    Your audio settings may have been changed.
    Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
    Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
    Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
    More info here on no sound from built-in speakers:

    Read the documentation at the links.  They won't hurt your data. 
    Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot.  Harmless to you.  Resets the smc.
    Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime.  Read what does.
