unMute - Firefox Tab Muting Extension

unMute is a versatile Firefox extension designed to help you manage your browser's sound settings efficiently. With unMute, you can manually mute or unmute the current tab or set automatic muting rules to keep your browsing environment quiet and focused.

Key Features:

  • Mute or unMute the current active tab instantly.
  • Automatically mute all tabs except the current, recent-audible, or specified tab.
  • Keep all tabs muted at all times if desired.
  • Easily toggle mute states across all tabs.
  • Customize the user action button to suit your workflow.

The extension has evolved through various versions, improving stability, user interface, and compliance with Firefox's Manifest V3 guidelines. unMute is perfect for users who want granular control over their browser's audio without closing tabs or muting their system sound entirely.

This is THE ONLY extension i found that is capable of keeping the last tab audible if the new active tab is not actually making any sound (even if it is a very hidden feature, might i add)

Is unMute 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.

unMute requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
