User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0 Build ID: 20170824053838 Steps to reproduce: Set `dom.audiochannel.mutedByDefault` to true; Upgraded to Firefox 55.0.3 (I think it was also in several previous builds as well). Actual results: The setting was working fine on some older versions (the sound was completely disabled which is exactly what I want). The setting is being ignored now. Expected results: The setting should have continued being effective (which means, it should really disable all sound in FF).

(In reply to Tooru Fujisawa [:arai] from comment #1) > it's removed by bug 1299390 OK, that's good to know. But then there should be a replacement which makes it possible to achieve the same result (globally disabling sound in Firefox). Simply dropping features out of a sudden is not quite okay… Do you know if a replacement exists or is planned?
Setting media.default_volume=0 achieves a similar result.
