It kinda works, but I've run into a major issue that I cannot figure out. Using FF 58.0.2 at the moment

For example, if I whitelist "www.bbc.co.uk" and then navigate to www.bbc.co.uk/news the new page is muted once more, despite being on the same domain... Like wise if I whitelist the /news part of the domain and then navigate to say /news/world/ it's muted once more... It refuses to allow the entire domain to be whitelisted.

I've not tested it on a huge number of sites so far... But I'd prefer a solution that worked on the sites I use a lot.

Only 2 stars for now... if it's improved... so might my rating. :)

    Works also in Waterfox but there's one small issue.
    Can't delete or edit blacklist entries in its setting page.
    Can you please update the addon so this issue in Waterfox is fixed ?

    Suggestion - please consider adding a github (or at least an email address) to make it easier to report bugs/issues.
    Thanks in advance.

    Just great.

    I was able to suppress the mute icon on tabs with an entry in the userchrome.css:
    .tabbrowser-tab:-moz-any(.tab-icon-sound,.tab-icon-overlay[muted]) { display: none !important; }

    This doesn't work anymore from FF 76.0.1.
    Any idea on what needs to be changed?
    If you get the info about these kind of changes, it would be great to add it to the documentation ;-)

    Thanks a lot for this wonderful work

    Thank you for your feedback!

    I thought about that feature but unfortunately correctly there isn't any way for an extension to hide the mute icon.

    You can hide the icon by editing the chrome.css file.

    This addon should be baseline to Firefox, it's so simple and yet you won't realise you need it until it's gone. I switched to Firefox from Chrome recently and one feature that I really miss is being able to mute all tabs from specific sites. It's a tiny but handy quality of life feature, and MuteLinks improves on Chrome's built-in muter. The ability to change between whitelist and blacklist modes, and the optional right-click context menu, are both very useful features.

    As another poster said, it doesn't work on Firefox for Android. There is no way to save settings. I can add sites to the blacklist or whitelist, but they aren't getting saved. Same if I select mute by default or mute private tabs - the settings don't save and there is no save button.
