Well, currently it's not quite reliable and misses many media elements, not to mention Flash. It's nothing compared with Firefox's solution. At least I tried. :)

But, I do have a question for PM's team. Is there any particular reason why media.useAudioChannelService is not included in preferences by default? Does it come with some stability issues? I've found there is a media-playback message which could be used in an observer to capture any source of sound coming from a DOM document. But it works only if the preference mentioned before is set to true. Here is even a test for this.

It's a hidden pref in v27. I don't think we have the audio channel service platform code in our current release versions, I'd have to check.

EDIT: no, it's there in v26 also.
As for stability issues; I wouldn't think so -- it's something that's been enabled on mobile for a long time.

Apparently this preference causes pausing media playback for all tabs in a window except for selected tab (Bugzilla).
So, it's not a viable solution without applying patches to make this usable on desktop. Sorry for bothering.

Strange, In my Pale Moon it's absent =)

Dunno the technical reasons, but this setting does not disable all autoplay.

Hi i'm new to the forums but not entirely new to the browser. I would also like this feature added . I used opera for years and was overjoyed when it arrived.

See here: https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/ ... oisy-tabs/. Just note, it doesn't work with some complete themes, which you can find them here: https://addons.palemoon.org/themes/.

If there's any specific theme at issue here, do let me know and I can take a look. I can't fix bugs if they're not reported, after all. ;)

Yes, there is. I haven't been able to contact you or wost_ because I've been quite busy myself. So when I do have the time, I'll contact you in the appropriate thread.

I have noticed Firefox 51.0.1 does have Tab Audio Indicators and I would also like to see this feature in Pale Moon. I often haven 40 or more tabs open and its very difficult to figure out which tab audio comes from after a restart.

This is implemented as an add-on for the default theme of Pale Moon. Now, unless you're using specific theme and are having problems, then you should report it.
