How can I mute Firefox?

Get Adblock plus for Firefox.

Try NoScript.

My laptop has a buttom that specifically mutes the sound. All I can say is your probably does too.

@YARNLADY He can’t do that because he’s listening to music as well. Unless that button mutes only audio for a specific application. That would be awesome…

Man.. I had the same problem a long time ago. I was trying to play a flash game while listening to iTunes.

That did the trick. You can mute specific apps.

Edit :: here is a pic.

Get FlashBlock. It is a Firefox add-in. It replaces flash objects (the ones you don’t like) with a button. If you want to play them you click the button. Otherwise they never start.

@dverhey No, mine just mutes everything. Hubby says there is a program that will mute only what you tell it to, but I don’t know which one.

Hold a pillow over his face.

What @samanthabarnum says it’s a really good tip, Adblock Plus is a firefox addon that blocks all those annoying ads, its a must-have if you’re using firefox, another thing you can do, if you’re on windows vista or windows seven is to use the Volume Mixer which allows you to control the volume of each application running in your system individually.

@clodoveo I believe he said he was on OSX. If so, Audio Hijack may be your best bet. It is a little pricey, though…

And yes, I know you can pirate it, but I wouldn’t encourage it.

@dverhey Oh yeah, he’s in OSX, I din’t get that right, I’m sorry, well… another thing I think you can try is to set up a proxy software to block ads on the internet. I do so to do the same thing in google chrome, it should be easy, but I don’t know any proxy software that runs on OSX, i’m sorry =S

like @samanthabarnum said, Adblock. you don’t want those ads in any case. unless you think voting for obama’s favorite haircut to win an xbox 360 is gonna get you somewhere.

Do any of you asshat’s listen? The guy made it very clear. He wants to listen to music while web surfing, and mute the browser. Ads and flash are only part of the issue. And he specifically said he’s on OS X, not fucking windows. Fuck me.
