More like whoever coded the add-on is an idiot. Google used a brilliant piece of HTML5 to bring the iconic Pacman to the masses for its 30th Anniversary, and not only do people not recognize its ubiquitous sounds, people are annoyed at Google and Firefox, not the creators of the add-on.
No one did this on purpose, and the ones at fault are the ones who coded the Add-on. Now shut up, your problem is fixed.

  • Sound that plays when I open/close applications

    Somehow when I open/close an application and do other similar things, my Mac makes a beeping sound. I checked System Preferences and do not see an option for this under sounds. I am also not sure how this was ever set. How/where can I turn this off?
    Thanks.

    I checked my applications folder for any strange applications that may have been installed and nothing shows.

  • Music plays when I open Firefox browser

    Whenever I open Firefox browser music begins playing. I have also sometimes heard non-musical audio, what sounds like a commercial.
    I checked the add-ons/plug-ins list of Firefox and nothing on it seems to be the source of this problem.
    I also already checked the installed programs from my computer's Control Panel. But there is nothing installed recently that would explain this unwanted audio playing upon opening Firefox.
    And this unwanted audio only plays in Firefox, not when I use Internet Explorer browser. But I prefer Firefox overall, so hope I may find a remedy to this situation.
    I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the problem will not go away using that measure either.
    And when I have tried a System Restore of my hard drive the earliest date is this morning, which does no good as this problem was also there yesterday.
    My Operating System is Windows 7 64-bit. I am using an HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC.
    Please advise on what is a solution to this issue.

    Perchance, were you using a Video Downloader add-on?
    Maybe a video got "stuck" in the download cache and was replaying when Firefox was opened.

  • A siren sound is constant when I open Firefox on a Mac, how can I get rid of it

    It's Pac-Man's 30th Birthday today, and Google's homepage is a playable Pac-Man game around the Google logo. My boyfriend had the same problem, then I went to Google and was like Hey, it's Pac-Man! And then the siren started. He plays fine on my laptop, but for some reason the music is stuck on his computer.
    All you have to do is disable the "Cool Previews" add on for firefox. Go to the "Tools" link at the top of the browser, go down to "Add Ons", go to the "Cool Previews", click "Disable". Then restart firefox and it should be fine!

  • How do I get website backround sound to play when I go to that site?

    New to Firefox. Installed version 3.6.
    How do I get the background sound to play when I go to a web site that has background sound/music?

    If a website uses bgsound then it will only work in IE.<br />
    Bgsound is not compatible with other browsers like Firefox.

  • Sounds stop playing when user locks screen on iOS with AIR 3.9 Beta

    We built a simple application that should play sounds when in background and when the screen is locked.
    Since we updated to the latest AIR 3.9 Beta SDK, all sounds stop playing when the user locks the screen on iOS.
    The sounds resume when the screen is unlocked.
    - it works on Android
    - we use renderMode : cpu
    - we use UIBackgroundModes : audio
    - we use NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode=SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
    - sounds play when the app is in background
    - was working great with AIR 3.8 SDK
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for reproting the issue, we have an internal already logged bug for this, which is under investigation at the moment.

  • How can I get rid of the music that plays when people call me?

    I get complaints about the music that plays when people call me. They expect  a tone that indicates a ringing phone and get frustrated with the music.
    How do i change from the automatic music to a ring tone? Thanks-

    I read this OP's post better then I did that other one from this morning.
    I am not crazy about those that have ringback tones on their phones.  It is a good thing that no one I call has one any more.

  • Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when Help-About Firefox says I do?

    There are/were three problems:
    '''1.''' Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when '''Help>About''' Firefox says I do?
    '''2.''' Also, with the 8.xx version, I was unable to open in a new window with a right click until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I am curious.)
    '''3.''' When I tried to uninstall the older version the uninstaller told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.

    1. You are using the latest version which is Firefox 9.0.1
    From your description it sounds as if you may still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used as '''about:home''' has been in use since Firefox 4.0
    Either ignore the message, change homepage to '''about:home''', change it to another page or leave blank.

    Hi everyone!
    I will be posting this in all "weird sounds topics" just so you know.
    These "weird" sounds you hear are from pacman.
    Today is Pacmans 30:th birthday and google wanted to celebrate by making the pacman game playable at their website "www.google.com".
    You will notice that their logo is changed to pacman with the map swapped out to the text "google".
    The game will probably just be here today so all noises will be gone by tomorrow. If you don't want to hear the sound today then please don't visit google or just turn your volume down.
    Yours sincerely: LAwLz

  • IOS8 - Music stops playing when I open Messages app

    Since downloading iOS8, my music stops playing when I open the Messages app.  I have to go back to the Music app to begin playing the music again once I have closed the Messages app.  I assume it has something to do with the video/audio message feature.  How can I get my music to continue playing when I open the messages app?

    Rebooting my phone (a 5S) solved this issue, at least temporarily. I was ready to rush to the Apple Store and beg them for an iOS 7 phone; no music while texting is a definite deal breaker for me.
