1191958 - Add the tab sound icon on website thumbnails for tab groups (Panorama)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, enhancement)

Description

[Loic]

Panorama is a nice feature to have an overwiew of a group of tabs including noisy tabs (like tabs autostarting video or audio when they are loaded), better than scrolling all the tab bar to find the noisy tabs.

So I think it would be nice to display the tab sound icon on the thumbnail of noisy tabs in Panorama, so the user can mute easily these tabs on the fly without scrolling the tab bar.

We're trying to kill Panorama as a feature in Firefox.  I don't think this bug blocks shipping, and in fact most likely it is WONTFIX.  shorlander, please let me know if you disagree.

As long as we ship it in a user-visible way we should support it somewhat IMO. I agree this shouldn't block shipping though. If someone submits a straightforward patch I think we should review it.

Panorama has been removed from Firefox 45, currently in Beta and scheduled for release on March 7th. As such, I'm closing all existing Panorama bugs.

If you are still using Panorama, you will see a deprecation message in Firefox 44, and when 45 is released your tab group data will be migrated to bookmarks, with a folder for each group. There are also a few addons offering similar functionality.

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-removal for more info.

We're removing Panorama because it has extremely low usage (about 0.01% of users), and has a large number of bugs and usability issues. The cost of fixing all those issues is far too high to justify, and so we'll instead be focusing our time and energy on improving other parts of Firefox.
