Volume Control
A fix for loud volume.
What is Volume Control?
'Volume Control' is a Firefox add-on designed to manage the volume of HTML5 media. This extension is particularly crucial for Windows 7 users who grapple with a persistent bug in Firefox, which prevents the system's Mixer from recalling volume levels for new tabs. Alongside this, Volume Control also serves as a global volume slider for HTML5 media, effectively providing control over your browsing volume without the need for a page refresh, courtesy of its instantaneous volume adjustment feature.
