    Merci, exactement ce que je cherchais depuis longtemps. Activer le son de l'onglet actif et mettre en sourdine les autres. A l'instar de l'option native du navigateur Vivaldi "Seul l'onglet actif peut générer des sons". Merci au développeur.

    Works as described and flawlessly at that. Would be nice to have additional features such as whitelisting and so on.

    Really unique add-on! However, there should be an option to NOT mute the tab when switching to a tab that has no media playing. Would give it 6 stars if this can be implemented. Thank you.

    Thank you! I really have wanted this feature for years.

    One thing, though: how about a whitelist? There are some windows I WANT to play in the background, and I could easily take the site off if I didn't.

    So yeah, if you could add that I'd say this is perfect, and if you can't, still, I've needed this for YEARS! :D

    This is so convenient! Thank you.
    An on/off button would be nice though, since I sometimes like to play music of inactive tabs in the background.

    Thank you for this plugin.
    I loved it if it could mute active tab if the main window is inactive.

    This is great! I use it with Tile Tabs to preview 50 TV channels at the same time. But where's a button to switch it off when you don't need it?

    I tried to install this but the install popup says it couldn't install because the file appears to be corrupt.

    EDIT: Okay, I don't use those. I was trying to install this into Pale Moon v26.0.3 (latest). It doesn't have Firefox's sound mute in the tab buttons so I thought this would be a helpful replacement. Thanks anyways.

    Make sure you have at least Firefox Developer Edition or better yet Nightly.
