Features & Capabilities

Scrolling Instagram Reels in Firefox slowly kills your sound.

Instagram opens a new audio stream for every Reel you scroll past and never closes them. They pile up as idle streams until Firefox can't open new ones — and your audio stops working until you restart the browser. It's a real, long-standing bug in Firefox's audio engine (Mozilla bugs 1602345 and 1851747) and it affects every Firefox-based browser.

Reel Audio Fixer bounds the leak. As you scroll, it keeps the last few Reels behind you alive and releases the audio streams of older ones, so the number of open streams stops climbing without limit. Your sound keeps working no matter how long you scroll.

Works silently in the background — no setup, no configuration.
Never touches the Reel you're watching or Reels ahead, so playback and forward scrolling are never interrupted.
Keeps a 5-Reel buffer, so you can scroll back the most recent 5 Reels.

Trade-off: if you scroll back more than 5 Reels, the older ones appear grayed out. You need to reload the page to see them.

Is Reel Audio Fixer 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.

Reel Audio Fixer requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

Reel Audio Fixer is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
