By use, I mean doing=20 > standard tasks inside of it, such as Google'ing and general surfing of=20 > the internet. I've tried 'xset b off', but the sound is still present? Did you compile the port with debugging on? Mozilla beeps like a=20 lunatic when it's compiled with debugging. Have a look at=20 /var/db/ports/firefox/options and see if there is a line like=20 "WITH_DEBUG=3Dtrue". If there is, then delete /var/db/ports/firefox/options. Go to=20 /usr/ports/www/firefox and do a make. This time do not turn debugging=20 on when asked to pick options!. Then "make deinstall; make reinstall". --Alex here's the issue i'm having. i just installed a new video card and firefox has decided to start making weird beeping and almost hissing noises when i have an audio application running. for example, i use winamp and firefox with tabbed browsing and whenever i select another tab, it makes an annoying beep. do you have any suggestions and can you explain what you originally wrote?!? thanks for your help Chris
