Better Notification of active "Playing" TAB on video/music websites.

[Diuran]

I open many tabs with YouTube or other website with video/music. I really lost to find active-playing tab. I know there is text "now playing", but that's not enough with many tabs opened. Furthermore, I attach the file with screenshot and on that screenshot active playing tab is the last, but it took me time to realize which tab now is playing. I really wish to make playing button on the tab to be little bigger and easier to distinguish, maybe with different colour and make permanently visible on the tab.

It would be great too if the window with playing content would be marked in the list of opened windows with a "playing icon" as indicator.

Hi everybody !

Do in Nightly as in the stable FF version in regard to the active video tab indicator : add a speaker to the left ! OR, be creative and set that tab in a different color !!!

Best regards,

Active tab color

What about making the active tab a contrasting color? Especially when in dark mode, is very difficult to distinguish which one is the active tab, a problem exacerbated in monitors with poor viewing angles. The option to customize the color would be nice.

Hello

For information purposes and if you use userChrome.css
Take a look https://forums.mozfr.org/viewtopic.php?t=151714

.tab-icon-overlay[soundplaying] {
opacity: 1 !important;
scale: 3;
list-style-image: url("Icons8_flat_speaker.svg") !important;
}
.tab-icon-overlay[muted] {
opacity: 1 !important;
scale: 3;
list-style-image: url("Gartoon_actions_player_mute.svg") !important;
}

will be a goo idea to keep that icon sound always visible while is media on that tab, not hidden.

german: laufende Videos / running videos

Liebe Firefox Team,

wenn Leute mit vielen Tabs arbeiten, entsteht das Problem, dass man manchmal Mühe hat ein laufendes Video wieder zu finden. Hier wäre eine deutliche Markierung z.B. ein organgenes Laufband gestreift hilfreich, dass man weiss, hier in dem Tab läuft das Video, kann weiter geschaut werden, oder leiser gestellt ...

Beste Grüße

PS

When someone works with many tabs, the problem arises that 
they sometimes have trouble finding a running video again.
A clear marking, e.g. an orange moving frame, would be helpful here 
so that you know that the video is running here in the tab, 
you can continue watching it, or turn it down...

Best regards

P.S

highlighting the tab in a different color.

Please highlight the tab where the video is playing in some other color! So that you don't have to search for it after working with other tabs!
