Identify tab playing audio in Firefox

April 16, 2019 6:05 PM

I have a lot of tabs open in Firefox. One of them is playing a Youtube video. I can't find it. Is there an easy way to locate the tab? - Note: I can't (probably) do the thing where you look for the tab with the speaker icon. I'd rather go to history and look for the tab with the audio on. For some reason, I can't figure this out ... Thank you!

Best answer: You don't have a downward-pointing arrow/carat in the upper right end of your tab bar? Right next to the "open new tab" + sign? If you click on that and scroll through the list, you can find the tab with the speaker icon in that list more easily than trying to manually click through all of your tabs individually.

I'm not aware of a way to look at your history to figure out which tab has audio on in Firefox.

(In case anyone else was, like me, confused not to see the downward-pointing arrow: it only appears when you have more tabs than will fit in the tab bar)
