When I view my blog ( http://sluiter-op-bulb.blogspot.com/ ) in Firefox I get strange background sounds, like someone is playing a shooter game. The issue does not occur in IE or Chrome and I did not put any sound on my blog myself It's not fun to have shooting sounds specially with a blog post on bird watching !!! Can I solve this problem myself or is it a Firefox error???

Sorry, can't reproduce this issue.

Right-click on the page and select View Page Info. Go to the Media tab and check, if there any sound files listed.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
