Features & Capabilities

Volume Control is a Chrome extension designed to fix a known volume bug in Firefox on Windows 7, where the system's Mixer fails to remember volume levels for new tabs, especially noticeable when using earphones. Beyond this fix, it serves as a global volume slider to control all HTML5 media volume across your browser tabs.

The latest version, 2.0.2, introduces instantaneous volume adjustment, allowing users to change the volume without needing to refresh the page. This makes managing audio smoother and more convenient while browsing. Whether you're troubleshooting volume inconsistencies or simply want a centralized volume control for all HTML5 media, Volume Control offers a simple and effective solution.

Cons

Does not work for embedded audio players without user intervention.

Page refresh occurs when volume is adjusted.

Recent reviews

Reliable overall master volume for Firefox. Really amazingly helpful in my Mac-based studio, as my recording sessions are much lower loudness than brickwall-limited sounds sources like YouTube and social media, or even teleconferencing like Google Meets, so I am able to adjust the volumes to match. 10/10. Good stuff.

Is Volume Control 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.

Volume Control requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

Volume Control has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
