Crazy On Tap - Turning off sounds in FireFox

Turning off sounds in FireFox

You know that "ffp" sound FireFox makes if you attempt to find something on the page and it doesn't find it?

How do I turn that off?

Figures it would be as easy as going in about:config

It was annoying me too, thanks.

I haven't played with about:config yet. I'm gonna have to start soon.

BTW it wasn't as much "ffp" as it was WWHHHHAAAMMM! giving me the jibbies now and then.

Yeah, I hate programs that automatically use sounds. I forget my speakers are on, I'm editing some sounds, I go to look up something online, and -BUNK!- says Firefox at about ninety decibels.

Thank goodness for about:config.

Still less disturbing than the Ad-Aware bug splat.

What's strange is that Find seems to work better now too. It used to not find capitalized words if I didn't capitalize them with type ahead, but would find them if I hit CTRL + F and Enter. Now it finds them with type ahead.
