Is the Mute Tabs icon a Fixture?

The mute tabs icon is just a waste of space as soon as you get a few tabs loaded and the tabs shrink. I have multiple tabs showing at the moment where I have clicked on the icon and unmuted them when just trying to select them. It does not help that the icons have been placed in almost the exact centre of the tab, at least with the 19 I have showing in a mix of muted/unmuted. Only 7 of these tabs are still muted, although I did deliberately unmute one to check the action.

I would prefer it if these icons are not showing as they are a waste of space and my time. If you hit the icon the tab is not brought to the front as intended so you have to click on them again. I just want the tabs to work like real tabs.

Is there any way to remove the feature altogether? I have after a lot of frustration just reduced the sound for Firefox in the Windows Volume Mixer as I did before tab muting was thought of. I almost never use sound in Firefox anyway.

I am using tab groups and suddenly they all disappeared. There is no hint or trace of this function, not even in the tab pulldown menue. I checked the internet, I restartet Firefox several times, I restarted my notebook (Windows 11), I checked about:config (tab groups are enabled). I even reinstalled firefox - it seems like tab groups never have existed. What might have happend - and how could I get that feature back?

Thank you in advance Wolf

A few days back, the browser "+" symbol used to open another tab at the top right of the browser window disappeared like a bad odor in the wind. Performed a search and located instructions on line that explained using 'about:config' settings to restore the symbol. It worked and I was browsing wonderfully again.

After closing the browser a few days later, the + symbol has vanished again upon restarting. Have searched in vain online to locate the parameter in about:config that I need to reset, but cannot locate it and I do not remember the parameter to search. CRS problem.

I can go into the Customize menu and drag a folder with a + symbol to the menu bar but it behaves differently. Just want the convenience of clicking the + symbol to automagically start another tab.

Even though I have settings set to load previous tabs when Firefox is started up but when it is restarted it doesn't load the tabs. This has only occurred the last few days. My solution is to select "reopen all windows" which does what I want but also opens several other versions of Firefox. Noteworthy, confusing, but probably not associated: In the course of trying to work through this, I have had a baseball playing on Chrome. I ended up closing out Chrome but the baseball game audio continues even though the Chrome appears to be closed on the taskbar.
