Tab volume control

Good morning, I would like to provide an idea for a future update of firefox, add a volume control panel / skip songs that are in any of the browser tabs.

I would also like to have an option to add a shortcut “as an application” on the desktop (which is not really an application, but as a shortcut to the web).

Thank you very much!!!

Please add the convenience for user to disable or remove such a icon with limited use in laptop. And it disadvantage it brings is , once if you have open multiple tabs, the tab button will be sqeeze in very limited small space, any click on the tab will highly possible to mute/unmute the sounds from that page!!!!

this is really not a friendly design if an user cannot easily disable its function or remove it per preference and individual usage habbits.

Why hasn't this been done yet? I've tried 4 different extensions that claim to do this, but none of them work. The concept works fine in Chrome.

Some websites are WAY too loud compared to others (thai-language.com is a big example), and it's annoying to have to constantly adjust the system volume as I go back and forth between an overly loud website and a normal one.

I really need this so I can come back to Firefox... I check this thread from time to time to see if we have any news on this one, but not being able to control tab volume is the only reason I (unfortunately) have to stay on Chrome, due to how my job works it's impossible to not have this feature.

Per Tab Volume Control

Idea:

It would be useful if Firefox allowed users to change the volume of each tab, similar to how Windows Volume Mixer works.

Show this would work:

  • It allows users to change the volume of each tab
  • By right clicking on a tab that is playing sound you can adjust the volume of it with a volume slider bar
  • The design can be similar to the Discord per-user Volume sliders (attached below) in Voice chat, making it familiar to many users and easy to use

How this would help:

  • With noisy tabs, Instead of just muting them , the users can just reduce their volume to still be able to hear them
  • It allows for better multitasking for example, being in a video call with music at a lower volume
  • And this allows for more options than the windows volume mixer does because users can control volume per tab instead of for the whole program.
  • Firefox already has an audio indicator so instead of clicking it to mute it could show a volume control slider.

I mean... if enough of us started a lawsuit against them for hearing damage, then they might start considering adding this absolutely amazing functionality.  Because, I'm not sure it's the websites' fault, here.  Also, not sure it's the end users' fault.  Has to be the fault of the thing that presents the website to the user, right.  That argument could stand up well in a court, anyway.

Adjustable per tab volume would be great 👍
