Firefox's mute tab "function" - how do I get rid of it please?

Shirmaya John replied

Google told me to go to About.Config, find "browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon" then change the value to false. But, at least in my version of FF, that doesn't work because browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon isn't listed. I'm running 142.0.01.

I know FF is trying to please all the wonderful teenagers who want to constantly screw around with software settings. But it would be really nice if such new "features" were not turned on automatically.

>constantly >such new "features"

The browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon pref is no longer supported since Firefox 77 (#1634012) as this is a pref that was only meant to control this feature during its development stage.

Thx, but knowing why Google's answer was wrong doesn't really help me get rid of this unwanted newe "feature" that I never asked for? I'm constantly accidentally muting tabs, and it's really annoying. Can someone please tell me how to turn this off, please?

By the way, it WOULD be really helpful if FF would make such new "features" OPTIONAL, not turned on by default.

Thx

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

Hi there! Maybe this will work?

Navigate to your Firefox profile folder → create a chrome folder if it doesn’t exist.

making a userChrome.css file and writing

.tab-audio-button {

display: none!important;

}

to it
