How can I remove annoying click sound when opening new tab?

I've already goggled this and it said something about no-script (which I'm not running) and nothing else that sounded remotely close to my issue. Basically anytime I open a new tab (which I do tons of) I get the most obnoxious loud click type sound and it drives me up the walls. I can simply mute the whole browser but then many media players and the like play the audio directly through the browser instead of adobe flash or the like. I just learned it also plays the most annoying sound in the world when I use the spellcheck feature...
Any help on removing this terrible sound file from Firefox would be greatly appreciated... I would hate to have to start using chrome just to get away from this sound.
The only add-ons I use are Adblock Plus 2.6.3, Advanced SystemCare Surfing Protection 1.0 (I assume it installed itself with the actual ASC program), and Leechblock 0.6.6.
All my plugins are off by default unless I manually turn them on the add-on manager window when I start up firefox and the sound plays before I ever activate them.

Did this start when you installed Firefox 30, in other words, Firefox 29 and earlier was fine?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

How to stop newtab-page flickering/refreshing when opening new tabs by ctrl-clicking thumbnails?

Often when opening new tabs from thumbnails in newtab-page (about:newtab) the whole newtab-page refreshes itself or otherwise flickers. This sometimes causes that some new tabs are not opened when ctrl-clicking multiple thumbnails in a row. Does the newtab-page recalculate after every click what thumbnails it should show and this could cause the flickering effect? (Although I don't see changes in thumbnail order.)

Hi FFanatic,
Please update to version 32 to see if this is still happening. Go to About Firefox and click the update button.

How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for. Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
*UPDATE (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
Have a blessed day.

Airplane sound when opening new tab.

When I open a new tab it sounds like an airplane flying overhead. I already tried the safe mode thing and it does not occur in safe mode I am already on the default.

How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

Click sound when opening/closing cover

I've had the ipad 2 and Apple cover for 2 months. When I first got it, there was a click sound when opening or closing the cover. There is no sound anymore when opening/closing. Did I change a setting somehow which caused this?

On the new iPad, the switch next to the volume rocker has two functions, depending on how you have it set in 'Settings.' There's a section in General called Use Side Switch to:. You can either use it to Lock Rotation or Mute. When it is set to Lock Rotation and the switch is pushed to the left, yes, the rotation is locked, but when it is set to Mute, and the switch is pushed to the left, all sounds are muted, including the sound for when closing the cover.

TS4002 How can I get a notification sound when an email arrives?

I am using Safari and icloud to manage and check emial. I am not receiving a notification sound. How can I get an audiable sound to alret me?

Thank you. I meant new mail alert sound, but I didn't word it right I just want to know when new mail comes in, but its not happening. I have done different methods, including the one you suggest, but it will alert sometimes and most of the times it doesn't. For a while when I got my phone (Iphone4) and downloaded IOS6 it worked. It stopped working when I had to reset my phone to factory settings a week ago.
IOS has been updated and I have the latest software,. but it will not alert me each time I get mail. In few occassions I get the Ding of new mail, but for 15 mails I get maybe 2.
Thanks for replying to my question

How can I remove confidential word documents when i give mac book away?

I have Word on my mac book pro
I want to give the book to my grandson
I do not want him to have my word documents.
How can I remove them?

I do not understand your problem. You can erase the whole Mac as I said n my first reply.
If you only want to delete the documents, move them to the Trash and securely delete the Trash. See:

MacBook Pro 13 - Clicking Sound When Opening

I have a MBP 13 that runs perfectly. However recently I noticed a "clicking" sound when I open the display. The noise (a single click) appears to come from the upper right hand side of the screen. Any ideas on whether I should get this checked out?

dcnjrich wrote:
I sent my MBP13 to Apple for repair. The tech indicated that the hinges were lubricated and tightened....and the sound still exists. Atleast I have it documented in the event there is any type of failure. Candidly I'm guessing that one of the magnets is loose as the noise does not occur when the laptop lid is closed.
If this was my MBP, I'd return it and ask them to fix it correctly, and if they can't, ask about a replacing it (I would miss it while it was gone, but I'd still be able to work on one of my other Macs. If you can't afford the time without it, your situation might be different; obviously that's your call.)

When opening new tab, how to make me able to type in the adress bar directly without clicking on it? -- (about:config reset and add-on doesn't work)

Hi all,
Need a help relating New Tab on Mozilla.
I want to be able to directly type in the address bar everytime I open a new tab in Mozilla, without clicking anything. To be clearer, it means that everytime I open the new tab, the blinking cursor is already on the address bar.
What's happening right now is everytime I open new tab, the cursor is not placed anywhere--not on the search bar on the page, not on the address bar. I should put the cursor somewhere to do something.
I tried using the about:config reset (1) and installing custom new tab (2), but both do not work.
When I tried the about:config reset the Reset button is not highlighted (I assume it means it's default already), and the Custom New Tab doesn't yield in different result.
What confuse me is 2 days ago my Mozilla works just fine. Everytime I opened a new tab, the blinking cursor was on the address bar and I was able to type directly.
Thank you and appreciate the help!!
Note:
(1) about:config reset:
- Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
- To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
- In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
- In the search results, right-click browser.newtab.url and choose Reset.
(2) Custom Add On reset:
- Install Custom New Tab. = https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
- Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
- Next to Custom New Tab, click the Options button.
- Set whatever page you want to open in each new tab (about:newtab is the default; about:home is the default home page), and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.

<blockquote>
ok, as a follow up i'd recommend disabling half of the addons & restarting the browser - if the problem continues disable the other half & continue until you've narrowed it down to the culprit...
</blockquote>
Hi Philipp,
I read the link you copied on the first post and also tried your recommendation above. None seem to work. Even if I disable all add-ons, the problem still persists.
One other info, this problem seem to appear after I installed several program yesterday. These programs apparently installed other programs that set my homepage and main search engine to a particular website. But I installed all of these programs already. Would that be a cause of the problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, important preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please open '''Troubleshooting Information''' via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H'''), '''Copy all to clipboard''' and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.
After the reset, you can then [https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-17-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/853416 update Norton products]. Please also see the workaround.

Youtube window minimizes when opening new tab

Hi,
So.. I have a problem
I'm using Macbook Pro Retina 15 (early 2013) with Yosemite and Safari. When I'm watching Youtube videos, and YT is the only tab open i can maximize the window so it's really big (not full screen), but when I open new tab, and get back to the YT, window gets smaller (cant change it via YT navigation). Closing every other tab except YT helps, and everything goes back to normal, big window again. Any thoughts ?
Thanks

Won't unmute / annoying clicking sound when adjusting volume

Hi, I'm using an HP Pavillion dv5 Notebook PC.
After muting then unmuting in Windows Vista (or using the touch button) I will have no sound. It returns when I restart or sometimes after a random amount of time. I've had this problem since purchasing the computer.
Another extremely annoying issue is that when using the touch volume slider there will be a clicking sound to go with the onscreen graphic of the volume changing. The clicking lags and sometimes goes on for several seconds after I've stopped touching the slider (sometimes 30seconds+ if I use the slider a lot).
If anyone has a solution or suggestion for either of these issues it would be muchly appreciated, thanks.

I have an HP Pavilion dv7-1003ea Entertainment Notebook but had the same problem which HP were unable to resolve for me. I solved it by replacing one of the infuriating sounds with a short period of silence. If you look in C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP QuickTouch you may find 3 WAV files and a program SelectiveSound.exe which if you run it will enable you to switch between the 3 WAV files.
I recorded a brief period of silence using a recording program called Polderbits but you could use any similar program. I renamed one of the 3 WAV files (in case I ever needed to revert) and saved my silent file with the original name of the WAV file in the HP Quick Touch directory. Incidentally simply deleting or renaming one of the WAV files didn't work. The system seems to remember the sound it last used. You actually need to replace the sound with a period of silence. Windows had a built in recorder in XP (C:\Windows\System32\sndrec32.exe)which produced WAV files. The similar program in Vista can be found in Start\All Programs\Accessories\Sound Recorder but alas for some reason known only to the Nerds at Microsoft this will only produce WAV files if you have Vista Home Basic. If you have the Premium version it will only produce WMA files which don't work in HPs QuickTouch.
I don't know who takes the prize for the most infuriating here. The idiot at HP who thinks its a good idea for a volume control to click at you everytime you use it or the idiot at Microsoft who decided what type of sound clip can be produced with your version of Vista. Good luck
