Think of all those flashy annoying myspace pages that play music and don't
provide any controls. Do you honestly believe that all the video and audio
players out there embedded into web pages have volume controls?
And what about all those Facebook games out there that have annoying background
music that cannot be muted? I think Firefox is a great candidate to have a sound
control of its own in the sound indicator, similar to the way it's currently
done in Sound Preferences.
There is a further thread somewhere down the line about how annoying it is to
have to switch to the appropriate application and turn off sound for a call. Now
imagine how much more annoying it would be to look through ~30 different tabs to
figure out which webpage is making sound and disable it.
This sounds perfect for a new Firefox extension.
