[partially fixed] Firefox3.6 annoying sound when I click a bookmark.

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 smile

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

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

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?

Re: [partially fixed] Firefox3.6 annoying sound when I click a bookmark.

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 big_smile). 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.

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

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.
