- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10278091, 14 dae geledeit's awesome on the sites it works on. Unfortunately not Amazon Music.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Aaron, 17 dae geledeGarbage extension. Muted a whole bunch of sites randomly after they already worked while the extension was installed.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Mark, 'n maand geledeIt works well, one minor, one major flaw, would be a 5 star otherwise...
Minor flaw : could boost volume by more than 32db (I'm hard of hearing).
Major flaw : Does NOT keep setting. Keep setting it at +32, as soon as I navigate to another page, or even refresh the page, it forgets the setting and goes back to 0.
Please allow it to be kept at the user setting. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18515589, 2 maande geledeSimple UI and works. I mostly use volume controls to LOWER the volumes. Every other extension is for raising the volumes so their UI for lowering the volume is robust and just mostly do intervals of 10 and sometimes having it that just 10 is still too high. So this extension fills all my needs and wants. Great work!
- Rated 3 out of 5by mtndewbajablast, 2 maande geledeIt works well but it doesn't remember the volume when reloading/exiting a site. I don't know if that's even possible but it would make this extension legendary status. It breaks the audio on everynoise.com, which was the reason I needed the extension. edit: also doesn't work on soundcloud.com

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13897860, 3 maande geledeworks well. But recently the volume bar is some how offset to the left.
- Rated 5 out of 5by vBanshee, 3 maande geledeWorks well.
To the people having problems, if your extensions or browser(in my case librewolf) blocks WebGL it won't work. Simply enabling WebGL fixes the issue. - Rated 5 out of 5by ZA, 4 maande geledeWorks straight out of the box flawlessly. Nice to see that it's FOSS and I hope it stays that way.
Hats off to the dev for his work, you're awesome! Also, the fact it runs on a "visit" basis makes trusting it even easier. Didn't have to enable the optional option. - Rated 3 out of 5by BillyCool, 5 maande geledeThe extension works well...most of the time. Occasionally and at random, while active, the volume just boosts to what feels like a million percent, causes audio to be distorted and extremely and uncomfortably loud. After a few seconds it returns to normal. I lived up with it for a bit, I can't use it anymore.

posted 4 maande geledeThis shouldn't be an issue with the plugin.
Not sure why you're having that issue, do you have anything else interacting with audio / firefox?
For convenience upon clicking, the slider is in focus, perhaps you have a device where the direction is locking to the right? Like in windows if you have an xbox controller plugged in with joystick drift. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18377486, 5 maande gelede
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18357169, 5 maande geledeHi Chaython, thanks for making an open source and slim volume control add-on. it is needed. i agree, the other one on Firefox is junk! i detest apps and etc. that harm us under the guise of offering something useful.
But i can't get it to work. On one site (movies7.to), it was useless. On another (archive.org), it muted the volume and i couldnt seem to re-tune it. i figure on another, it will also be a bother to rather than imrpovement of my experience...
I see that this is manifeset (aka "version?") 3. And that it is not necessary to give the permission for access to all websites' information?
what about the info on the single website upon which we apply the volume control add-on. could you provide a statement about what website info this extension searches for / analyzes, and how it uses this information? is it linked to our identities? could it be used for nefarious purposes if in the wrong hands? etc.
thanks again. i would ilke to use it.Developer response
posted 5 maande geledeAs for site compatibility, there's issues where CDN (content delivery network) has strict CSP.
CSP denies any extension from accessing the hosted resource.
The extra permission is necessary to see iframes (content loaded from a different site in a frame within the current site).
You can view the code, it doesn't see any information it just accesses the html audio/video and doesn't have any outgoing code, it just accesses the tab checks for audio then uses a js to check iframes for audio.
I've been trying to figure a way for firefox to not load the extension on certain sites but its not working it has only worked within chromium.... So site compatibility has been getting worse. - Rated 5 out of 5by kadjy, 5 maande gelede

- Rated 1 out of 5by Dav, 6 maande geledeIt's stopped working completely. Makes no adjustments to volume and prevents any audio playing on several sites. Tried the permissions thing suggested in the latest change notes, but still won't work so I had to uninstall it.
EDIT: There is no visible means to reply directly. No sound on YouTube or Imgur. Only other plugins are Malwayre Bytes, Surfsharf VPN, LastPass and Gramerly.Developer response
posted 6 maande geledeDid you have any other extensions installed? What websites didn't work? - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17327488, 6 maande geledeWorks well for sites it wont break
This extension does break bing for me and i found that out after enabling half of my extensions each time and narrowing down from there until i landed on this extension that was breaking bing
so i have to disable it when i want to use bingDeveloper response
posted 6 maande geledeAre you using the all_urls permission?
I haven't had issues with the permission given or not but the only real troubleshooting is that as this manipulates elements within webpages (audio/video) and some sites tell Firefox "you're not allowed to".
If all URLs is set on some sites they won't load audio elements at all because of those annoying security policies
On other sites with relaxed security policies the extension will only be able to manipulate audio with all_urls permission because the video is an iframe loaded from a seperate site - Rated 2 out of 5by DonVergo, 6 maande geledeNot working on the website I planned to use it for. Apparently it does work on YouTube but the audio there is mostly fine.

posted 6 maande geledePlease tell me what site....
If you read the description, assigning permission to allow all urls in the permission options allows it to work on more sites.
Help me, help you, why just leave a negative review? It's open source and I do this as a hobby (I get nothing from it) and have spent countless hours working on it, so it's painful to see a negative review with no way of remedying it.
