How can I disable "tab muted" icon?

Petrb

I muted all my tabs with extension, and the icon is annoying as it's everywhere. I want to keep them muted because of random shit-pages that play random audio ads and crap, but with no icon.

Try to set this pref to false on the about:config page to hide this icon.

  • browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Hi  !

You can disable that icon in the about:config page :

Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preference : browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon and set its value to false

Note : As of the latest Firefox version media in a background tab will not be auto played until you select or focus on it.

mine ......

Hello, browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon doesn't change the muted icon, it hides only the icon that shows that tab is playing when it's not muted.

I need to hide icon that tab is muted.

Setting the above mentioned value of that pref should do it.

Do you by any chance have an add-on installed like 'Noise Control'  ?

If so : would you please remove it  ?

I don't think I have any other extension installed. It's Firefox Quantum, here is screenshot:

The tabs without "muted" icon were open before extension was enabled.

And I did restart the browser after I changed this option. After restart all icons are gone, but for every tab I open they again show

Could you check, just to make sure  :

3-bar menu => Add-ons => Extensions

Forgot to ask : which extension  ? And : did you remove it  ?
