When I open Firefox browser a non-stop "clown whistle" starts playing and I need to know how to stop it. Internet Explorer works fine. Norton Security claims no viruses on my system.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I opened my firefox browser

That is an issue with the "Cool Previews" extension. See [tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=en-US&comments_parentId=678288&forumId=1]

It started today about noon EST when checking MSNBC for news. Norton finds nothing. Downloaded and installed 3.6.3. Still there, wont stop!
