Audio constantly plays right, no tabs or logon to any sites. This problem only happen today after I turn on PC and open Firefox. This does not happen on IE8. Audio will stop as soon as I close Firefox. Using Firefox 3.6.3. OS = Vista.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I open Firefox

We were able to resolve the issue by disabling the "Cool Preview" add-in. Mac OSX 10.4.

Thanks, You are correct. After disable "cool preview", it stop. Matter of fact, on the audio mixer, firefox icon disappear. Prior I need to "mute" it to stop pacman.

Same problem, same solution. It's a sad one, I'd love cool preview. Probably exploitation of a vulnerability of a well used complement.
