Firefox Blocks Autoplaying Web Audio (engadget.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the cease-and-desist dept.

Mozilla's latest Nightly builds for Firefox now include an option to mute autoplaying audio. The feature was recently added to the Chrome browser, but Mozilla's update offers a few more options. According to Engadget, "You can turn the feature off entirely, force it to ask for permission, and make exceptions for specific sites." Keep in mind that these are nightly releases, so you will most likely run into some bugs. The "polished version" is likely weeks away.

    No one cares because FireFox is dead.

    They killed the addon ecosystem for "major speed improvements" that could only top Chrome in 2 benchmarks.

    Such a waste of potential.
