In Firefox I can right click any tab and mute it, even if it isn't currently playing audio. This is useful for websites that I know will be playing audio soon -- I mute them before they start.

Also, in general, everything I can do to a tab should probably be surfaced in that right-click menu. Having the mute button be in the address bar was not obvious to me, and it disappears when there is not active audio, whereas I want to mute the tab before the audio even starts.

    To provide a concrete use case: I play chess online. The game makes a noise when a piece is moved. The noise only lasts 200ms or so. I want to be able to mute the tab. But the "audio playing" icon only appears very briefly when the noise is currently playing, it is too fast to click.

      Makes sense to add Mute tab after Pin tab in right cllick menu.
