Adds speaker icon to audible windows to indicate sound just like Firefox does natively for tabs

Audible Windows
Modern browsers provide utility to know which tabs are currently playing audio. This is useful when you have multiple tabs open where one or more tabs are playing audio but you are currently working on something else. You can find the audible tabs with a quick glance just by looking for the tabs that have a speaker icon on them. BUT, what about having multiple windows at the same time? Especially when the window in question has many tabs that the audible tab is buried out of sight, and you are not sure which window is playing audio.

This extension solves that problem.

Usage

This extension has no configuration. You just install it, and it runs. Whenever there’s any audible page in any window, you will see a speaker emoji prepended to that window's title. As simple as that.

The extension has been tested on Windows, MacOS and Linux, but it should work on any operating system where Firefox can run since the API calls used by this extension are local to Firefox.

Use Cases

• When you have many windows open, you can with a quick glance find which windows are playing audio by looking for the speaker symbol in the window titles.
• When you may not have as many windows but you have many tabs on each window, that the audible tabs cannot be readily found, you can quickly look for the window with the speaker in the title.
