Long-time problem: Running Firefox 115.6.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit). Viewing "CNN live" in one tab. Mutes if I open any another app/window [Login to website #1 [CNN live] and view/listen...Open anything else; CNN mutes] (Note- This happens in both Firefox and Chrome) Any ideas/suggestions for how to avoid this behavior? Thank you, Ron

Many thanks, zeroknight! I downloaded(?) and installed(?) Disable Page Visibility API. That seems to have solved my problem. Now the unwanted muting behavior has stopped. Kudos to zeroknight!
