Hello All,
I want to know if it could be possible to have a way to instantly find
all tabs in a session that are streaming media in the background. Case
in point, often while restoring large sessions with 20 or more tabs,
there will be some, say from you tube or MySpace that will
automatically launch a film or some music...etc..etc..and be blaring
in the background. Unwanted of course. I know there are a number of
ways of handling the the search for the culprits, but to my knowledge,
they all lack any elegance what-so-ever.Too much fumbling around to
find the offending noise maker(s).
I would love to see perhaps a choice in the drop down on Tools, that
says something like FSM (find streaming media) or Mute all streaming
media in session.
I'm not a programmer, so for all I know this is an impossible request.
I like to think though that at this point in Web development, there
are a slim few things that can't be done!!??
I would love to know if this issue has a solution already, and I've
overlooked it. I would really love to know if this has been a bother
to other people as well?

all the best

Michael
