When I opened Firefox today, I got weird sounds, like PacMan, and an ambulance siren, and I am unable to find a way to stop the noises. Cox Communications was no help, but the agent stated that he had heard the same sound yesterday when opening the Google
Issue
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
Description
When opening my firefox browser page, I get a sound like an ambulance siren, and sounds that a tech at Cox Communications id'ed as PacMan noise. The tech also stated that he heard the same noise on the Google browser page yesterday. Any suggestions/solutions?

CEASE. STOP. END IT. NOW. OR I'M MAKING A BEE LINE TO BING!
I also went crazy with that sound!I thought there was something wrong...What a brilliant idea of the internet people..."lets get on everybodys nerves today!!!"... tha diasabled coolPreviews helps a lot!thank you!
Its a pandemic.. I hope there is a solution to this really soon
disabling cool preview did stop it. I wounder why that would fix it and when its good to re-able cool preview again.
I have exactly the same problem. Started today. Won't stop now. So I use a different browser...but I like FF...please stop.
Yea. Uninstalling CoolPreview worked! Thanks a bunch!
Make it stop!
OMG - thank you guys for the advise this noise was driving me crazy...
Disable cool preview... Works!
happens on all three of my computers...only when Firefox is running...pacman, siren, etc sounds...
Wow, are people this stupid? It's Google's way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pacman, you can even play the game in the google logo, that's what is doing the sounds.
Yet, people think it's somehow Firefox's fault? *shake my head*
Freakin idiots you guys are.
how do we disable cool previews. I am so upset I could scream, this is so annoying and so very unprofessional.
Problem is "Anonymous", it keeps playing the damn music no matter what website you go to.
On my mac book pro (Snow Leopard) disabling the Shockwave flash plug-in stopped the music.
Weird Firefox Sound Bug(Virus?), Firefox plays weird sound on opening new sites
[Edit: hahaha, i figured it out. It must of been some recent update with NoScript that added or enabled sound notifications on script blocks. I really have to turn it off, so annoying that sound] Last edited by SyrenML; 7th November 2008 at 10:23 AM. SyrenML is offline Reply With Quote

No it doesnt, you're probably one of those that when he enter another website, it opens a new window/tab instead of using the current one where Google will stay open and keep playing Pacman in the background while you're browsing Facebook or Yahoo or whatever.
You wanna complain? Fine. But go complain to Google, not Firefox. They have nothing to do with this.
