Hi!
I'm not running Firefox and I still see it in the audio control. Does anyone know how to remove?
Thanks!
The settings of applications that are shown in audio control are stored in 'dconf'.
'dconf' is a registry-like (binary) configfile. A kind of key-value-pair database typed thing.
There are two ways to edit this 'dconf': From a GUI or from the commandline.
To use the GUI, first install it:
sudo apt install dconf-editor
Then, after you start it, navigate to "/org/ayatana/indicator/sound/interested-media-players" and remove firefox.desktop from the presented stringvalue
(my apologies for the fact that the dialog I show here is in my native language)
If you prefer to use the commandline:
dconf read /org/ayatana/indicator/sound/interested-media-players
this will reply with a valuestring like:
['mpv.desktop', 'firefox.desktop', 'vlc.desktop', 'audacious.desktop']
Then write the valuestring back without firefox.desktop
dconf write /org/ayatana/indicator/sound/interested-media-players "['mpv.desktop', 'vlc.desktop', 'audacious.desktop']"
and you're done.
