Don't unload hidden tabs which are playing audio

Open josh-berry opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Problem Statement

Hidden tabs which are playing audio may be unloaded spontaneously if Tab Stash is configured to automatically choose when/which tabs to unload (i.e. "smart" unloading; the default). This will cause the audio to randomly stop playing; see:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-stash/reviews/1585710/

Preferred Solution(s)

Exclude tabs from unloading which are playing audio and are not muted; see:

  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/tabs/Tab
