[opensuse] "Speaker" icon on Firefox
I often play music with Amarok. On the task bar, it has an icon for a speaker, as might be expected. However, this icon now appears on Firefox. If I display the list of Firefox windows, each one has the same icon, even on sites that don't have any audio. Is this a new "feature"? It doesn't appear with other browsers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Forgot to mention, this is with KDE on 15.0. On 06/16/2018 02:52 PM, James Knott wrote:

No idea. That's why I'm asking. I don't do much with desktops, other than use them, so everything is default. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It shows the speaker icon combined with the app that's accessing the soundcard. So also a paused Youtube video on Facebook etc., chat-programs with video/audio capabilities

FF52 also shows a speaker icon if you've set its preferences correctly. It shows when a page loads that wants to play sound, but you've told FF not to permit sound without explicit permission. Nothing to do with the desktop at all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm on FF60.0.2 and have never seen this before. I didn't change any settings and sound plays normally when I access a site that has it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have no open browser windows on sites that have audio, at least none that I can see. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
