by Firefox user 12831531, 7 years agoIt works pretty well.
One bug in Firefox Quantum though. I have it set to Mute By Default with sites like youtube whitelisted. It works well if I open a Youtube link in a new tab for instance, it's not muted. Which is the behavior I'd expect.
But if I open a new blank tab, that tab is muted. If I then navigate to Youtube, it doesn't unmute that tab.
So basically it only works if the tab is opened directly to a site that's on the Whitelist.
Edit:
I also get the same bug as the other users where if I hit the Blue trashcan in the settings to remove a site, it freezes the whole settings panel.

posted 7 years agoThank you for reporting the issue. I will fix it this weekend.
About the trashcan freeze, I found that it only seems to happen on Windows (works fine on Linux) so it looks like a Firefox bug. which I have to report.
EDIT: I have tested your setup in three different environments (Including Windows and Linux machines and Firefox 57 and Firefox Nightly) and the YouTube tab was always unmuted while in whitelist mode. Keep in mind that if you manually mute/unmute a tab my extension will stop changing that tab's mute state. This is to prevent you from having to create a new rule just to temporarily check a few sites.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bacrown, 7 months agoIf I could I'd rate it a 4.5/5, but only because I think when using the context menu it should default to just the domain and not the full link. Otherwise it does exactly what chrome does with muting sites. For some reason even with Firefox blocking audio autoplay some sites just blast their 200% boosted audio and this stops that.

- Rated 5 out of 5by LL25255252, 6 years agoWorks also in Waterfox but there's one small issue.
Can't delete or edit blacklist entries in its setting page.
Can you please update the addon so this issue in Waterfox is fixed ?
Suggestion - please consider adding a github (or at least an email address) to make it easier to report bugs/issues.
Thanks in advance. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13301850, 6 years agoJust great.
I was able to suppress the mute icon on tabs with an entry in the userchrome.css:
.tabbrowser-tab:-moz-any(.tab-icon-sound,.tab-icon-overlay[muted]) { display: none !important; }
This doesn't work anymore from FF 76.0.1.
Any idea on what needs to be changed?
If you get the info about these kind of changes, it would be great to add it to the documentation ;-)
Thanks a lot for this wonderful workDeveloper response

I thought about that feature but unfortunately correctly there isn't any way for an extension to hide the mute icon.
You can hide the icon by editing the chrome.css file. - Rated 5 out of 5by macarotto, 6 years agoThis addon should be baseline to Firefox, it's so simple and yet you won't realise you need it until it's gone. I switched to Firefox from Chrome recently and one feature that I really miss is being able to mute all tabs from specific sites. It's a tiny but handy quality of life feature, and MuteLinks improves on Chrome's built-in muter. The ability to change between whitelist and blacklist modes, and the optional right-click context menu, are both very useful features.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14101025, 7 years agoAs another poster said, it doesn't work on Firefox for Android. There is no way to save settings. I can add sites to the blacklist or whitelist, but they aren't getting saved. Same if I select mute by default or mute private tabs - the settings don't save and there is no save button.
