Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 13832388, 7 years agoIt works well with a blacklist, but muting by default and using a whitelist is much more problematic. Reloading a tab, using the reload button or Ctrl+R, always results in a muted page even if the site is whitelisted. Sometimes rules don't work as described, e.g. "google.com" doesn't also whitelist "calendar.google.com". And nothing I do seems to be able to unmute "about:newtab" (which would be nice just for aesthetics). The advertised regex support doesn't seem to work at all for the whitelist.
I'm giving it three stars because it does work great with the blacklist. But I wasted a lot of time trying to get the whitelist to work.

posted 7 years agoMy apologies for the delayed response,
I can confirm that reloading a whitelisted tab toggles the mute state, which seems to be related with the "calendar.google.com" issue and I'm currently working on it.
About the "about:newtab" for me "about:blank" did the trick.
About the regex you need to use slashes (/) at the start and beginning of the rule for the extension to recognize it as regex rule.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bacrown, a year 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
posted 6 years agoThank you for your feedback!
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.
