Review summary

Users appreciate Auto Mute for its simplicity and effectiveness in automatically muting new tabs, helping reduce unwanted sounds. It works well with modern Firefox versions and provides a reliable experience. However, multiple reviews mention problems with incorrect or ineffective muting of tabs containing Flash content and visual clutter caused by persistent muted icons on inactive sounds. Some find default settings unintuitive and desire features like whitelisting. Overall, the extension meets its core purpose but has room for improvement in handling special cases and user interface polish.

Pros

Effectively mutes new tabs automatically, fulfilling its primary purpose.
Simple and easy to use without unnecessary complexity.
Compatible with recent Firefox versions including Firefox Quantum.
Provides a good user experience by reducing annoying auto-play sounds on websites.
Reliable and stable for most use cases as praised by multiple users.

Cons

Issues with not muting tabs containing Flash content properly until re-muted manually.
Muted icon shown on tabs even when they are not playing sound, causing visual clutter.
Default settings exclude muting in normal windows, requiring manual enabling which can be confusing.
Occasionally mutes wrong tabs or fails to mute new tabs as expected.
Lack of a whitelist/exception feature to exclude certain sites from muting.
