On Firefox desktop we have a muted icon, it would be nice to have this on Android too.

I mentioned this in bug 1190301, but we can keep this open to make sure we don't lose track of this issue.

antlam, do you have an icon I can use for when the tab is muted? Something like a speaker with a strike through it.

I don't think adding this functionality has huge user benefits right now so I'd like to hold off on this. It feels a bit "too much" (in terms of functionality). 

And, we could probably solve it a better way as well. Especially since there are usually numerous ways to achieve this "instant- muting" ability on these devices themselves (compared to desktop).

Let's land bug 1190301 first.

Okay, I'll remove this mute functionality in bug 1190301, and we can leave this bug open to talk about re-adding it.
