Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Add-on's notification sound is muted (fedia.io)

I don't like notifications being shown in Windows Action Center, so I disabled it by changing alerts.useSystemBackend to false. The problem is Firefox built-in notification system just decides to mute notification sound and only shows the notifications. It's kinda annoying especially since I'm using this timer add-on. Please help me to enable notification sound. Thank you.

i dont think the built-in notification system has sounds. The system only has sound because the system might be configured to output sound on notifications ... Not sure, just what i think might be the issue.

The add-on itself has sound for its notification. It works well for me on Chrome. It doesn't work on Firefox, hence my post.

Hoho ... here i go ... debugging again ... Let's see ...

  1. The promodoro clock seems to create an audio element inside its background script, that it uses to output the sound. - pretty standard.
  2. And i am not aware of any way to specifically block the audio output of a single addon , via permissions or settings.

So my suggetion would be:

Install an addon that outputs sounds the same way. For example: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/notify-on-download-events/ and check if audio can be played back with that.

Come back with your results and we continue from there.

I installed your addon and the audio can't be played, no sound at all. I think it might be one of those about:config changes I made so here the list.

I think i found the issue. Try setting media.autoplay.blocking_policy to 0
