The annoying sound started happening with the 3.6 update. It happens when I click any bookmark, or menu item. How do I turn this off? I've checked out about:config and set
accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound
liberator.saved.accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound
both to false.
Any help would be appreciated

AFAIK 3.6 is still in the testing repo... you might wanna post this to the testing forum.

That's strange...I use firefox 3.6 and have never once heard a noise.

Well, I can say that this isn't part of a theme then (because I just disabled my theme, and the sound still plays).

If in doubt, google:
This doesn't seem like a gtk2 problem, because none of the other gtk2 apps suffer from this. This seems to have been introduced with 3.6

Does the sound still play in Firefox's safe mode?

Yes it does.

I guess I will hold out on upgrading until I see this resolved. This is exactly the kind of thing that I want to avoid with Arch. Having unwanted sounds is especially bad when you don't run a sound server and therefore can only have one sound-making program at a time.
BTW, does adding:
gtk-event-enable-sounds=0
to ~/.gtkrc kill the sounds? This will disable GTK sounds globally though (which may be wanted ). Firefox really shouldn't make sounds by default though!

Editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0
and adding the following line to it:
gtk-enable-event-sounds=0
and then restarting ff3.6 DOES turn the sound off, but it will turn off sound for ALL gtk apps.

Is it libcanberra doing it?

Just pulled down the update and indeed, sounds on browsing to a bookmark, mine is more of a "tink" sound

Please stop bumping this thread. When someone figures it out I'm sure he/she will post the solution. Bumping only serves to piss off people.
