Thanks for the quick reply. Very much appreciated.
.
Now, though, I'm having persistent audio issues with the compressor:
— an out-of-phase doubling of the sound
— minor distortion
.
Unsuccessful troubleshooting attempts I've tried already include:
— extreme and mid settings
— disabling my "Audio Equalizer" plug-in
— switching to and from Bluetooth headphones
.
Any ideas?

Question for vatara, "Audio Compressor" extension dev:
.
I try to avoid any browser extensions that aren't vetted ("Recommended by Mozilla"), so I'm wondering which aspect(s) of this extension require such highly-sensitive user-data to function?
.
The extension needs to "access your data for all websites", which means that anything I type on any website, including:
— usernames & passwords
— work emails
— my highly-personal . . . "dear diary...today after 4th period, Jason actually looked at me!!!!11" . . . kinds of Google-Docs-diary entries
— tragic and sad Reddit comments of mine on r/Gonewild50Plus
.
Apart from this question holding me back, everything about the extension itself looks good enough to try.
What do you say?

Developer response
posted 4 years agoIt's a good question. With how Firefox permissions work, to be able to insert the compressor into any page, it needs the "Access your data for all websites" permission. That said, the plugin is open-source (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/audio-compressor/) so anyone can look at the code to see it's not accessing or storing any data other than what is needed for the compressor.
