The icon for muting a tab does not appear. How can I make it show?
After the latest update, the icons to mute a tab appeared. I greatly liked that. But suddenly, they disappeared again, today.
I already checked the about:config entry; it is set to true.
How can I get it back? Thanks, Jos

¡Hola!
Please revert to Flash 19 as 20 has caused https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1231244
Or better yet, http://occupyflash.org/#manifesto ;-)
Let us know if this answer your question.
¡Gracias!
If this is a critical feature for you, while it isn't possible to roll back to Flash 19 using an official installer (unless you saved one yourself), there is an Extended Support Release of Flash 18 available that might work -- I haven't tested.
- Most likely you will need to uninstall Flash 20. This article has a link to the uninstaller: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/.../uninstall-flash-player-windows.html.
- Flash (ESR) version 18.0.0.268 its available a little more than halfway down on this page: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (you'll need the version for plugin-based browsers, either EXE or MSI gets you the same plugin)
Thanks guys,
Due to the fact that I do not seem to have enough rights, I could not completely remove Flash 20. I did run the uninstaller but was unable to remove the files in the directory's mentioned.
Looks like I have to wait for the bug to get fixed.
Thanks again, Jos
PS.
Running the check after running the uninstaller, says: "Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled. Please go to step 2."
However the mute icon still does not re-appear on the tabs.
Any more clues? TIA, Jos
PPS. jscher2000,
Re-intalled flash 18. Luckily I can play Candy Crush again, however the icons did nor re-appear.
Thanks, Jos
Thank you for testing that. Flash 18 had the initial plumbing for muting, but maybe Firefox only could mute in Flash 19+; it's hard to research such things...
¡Hola!
Per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1227221#c20 this should be fixed in Flash 20.0.0.238.
Please install it from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
Let us know if this solves the issue.
¡Gracias!
Alex,
Thanks, but I decides to wait for the official release of Flash 20. Thanks anyway.

I haven't researched it fully but see Bug 1205477 - Flash mute doesn't work with Flash 18.x
P.S. The current Flash Player version 20.0.0.235 caused the problem (missing speaker icon to mute sound on tabs with Flash content). The next Flash Player version 20.0.0.238 should fix it. See Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems for links to test your Flash version and how to manually update.
