When I first turned on Firefox today I heard a loud siren sound. I turned it off and the sound stopped. If I used IE Explorer there was no siren sound. The siren sound is on constantly when firefox is on. The firefox browser works normally except for the siren sound.


This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== When I first turned it on today.

Disable Cooliris and Cool Previews Go to tools-Addons-Extensions and disable the above 2 items, I got help on the Firefox forum and it worked for me By the way- today is the 30 birthday of PACMAN!
