Features & Capabilities

Mute Tab is a handy browser extension that allows you to mute all your open tabs instantly with just a single click. The extension adds a convenient toolbar button serving as a toggle switch — press it once to mute all tabs and again to unmute them. The button icon changes color and shape to indicate its status.

If you want to unmute a specific tab, simply right-click on it and select "Unmute Tab" from the context menu. Additionally, the extension offers options to mute all tabs except the active one, providing flexible sound control. Manual unmuting is respected, so the addon doesn't override user preferences unexpectedly.

With an intuitive interface and simple functionality, Mute Tab is perfect for users seeking quick control over browser sound without juggling multiple tabs individually. Visit the addon's homepage to report bugs and learn more.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the add-on's simplicity, minimal permissions, and easy toolbar integration for muting tabs. However, common concerns include the absence of customizable keyboard shortcuts, occasional auto-unmuting of tabs, and visual problems where mute icons obscure favicons. Some desire the ability to mute normal and private windows separately. Additionally, a few users have experienced functionality issues following recent updates.

Pros

Simple and effective functionality to mute/unmute tabs.
Minimal permissions required, ensuring user privacy.
Can be added as a single button to the toolbar for easy access.
Lightweight and uncomplicated without unnecessary features.
Provides clear visual indicators for muted tabs.

Cons

Lack of customizable keyboard shortcuts for muting/unmuting tabs.
Tabs sometimes unmute themselves shortly after being muted manually.
Visual issues with mute icons covering or replacing favicons on tabs, affecting site identification.
Mute function applies to all windows rather than allowing separate muting for normal and private windows.
Stopped working properly after recent updates as reported by some users.

Works, but the add-on name is misleading. It should be called "Mute ALL Tabs"

Single tabs I want to keep muted randomly unmute themselves shortly after manually muting them via right-click.

Is Mute Tab (WebExtension) Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Mute Tab (WebExtension) does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Mute Tab (WebExtension) is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
