Turn off alert sounds from Firefox in browser on Mac

I have turned off all alerts in System Preferences on my Mac. Yet Firefox still manages to deliver an alert sound, which is maddening. Where do I turn this off?
Thanks,
Amy

Do you have the NoScript extension installed? ''That's the only extension I have ever used that had a "sound".''
If yes, open NoScript Options > Notifications and un-tick '''Audio feedback when scripts are blocked'''

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

How to turn off alert sounds forever?

Why does OSX keep turning alert sounds on, no matter how many times I turn them off?
I'm a musician. I need the OS to be silent. I thought OSX was supposed to be the OS for music and multimedia, so it's very surprising and disappointing that it keeps making noises that I explicitly told it not to make.
Does anybody know how to turn them off so that they will NEVER come back on?
What I've tried so far is to go to the sound control panel and turn the alert volume all the way down, and also uncheck the box for interface effects. But it never fails -- sometime later, the computer will beep at me and I will find that the alert volume is turned all the way up and the interface effects box is enabled. I didn't do either of those things.

+Have you tried plugging in some earphones?+
A comedian!
Suppose I'm out playing a gig with my computer and a system alert ends up playing through the house speakers. That's an excellent way to ruin my performance.
I'm not kidding -- I really need the OS to be SILENT, meaning not to add any extra sounds to the ones that I produce with my music software. Merely redirecting system alerts to headphones is not going to help.
+Trash the following plist files:+
+Home>Library>Preferences>com.apple.soundpref.plist & com.apple.speech.prefs.plist+
+Besides the items you already unchecked in the Sound window also check the Mute box.+
+System Preferences>Speech>Text To Speech+
+Uncheck all the boxes.+
+Speech Recognition should be set to OFF.+
+Repair permissions and restart your computer.+
Thanks, I'll try these out.

Iphone 4 plays email tone in ear speaker while on phone. How do I turn off alert sounds when on phone?

When I am on a phone call and I receive a new email it plays the email alert through the ear piece and it is very loud and I am unable to hear the person I am speaking with. I NEED to be able to turn off this notification when I am on a call only.
How is this done?
thanks

I could, but that would defeat the purpose of what I am trying to accomplish. The point is to set it one time and forget it. Also, with my email tone going off I have turned the phone to silent and the email tone blares out until it is done. ***, shouldn't turning it to silent turn it to silent?
What I want to accomplish is when I am on my phone the only noise out of my phone I want to hear is the other caller!

How can I turn off the sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

Turning off email sound alerts?

Is there some way to turn off the sound alerts just for email? I don't really need them and they are most annoying at night ... My cell is my only phone and I prefer to leave sound on at night in case of emergencies but have resorted to either tuning it off or putting it over to vibrate as e-mails "nags" come in at all hours...

You can change the notification tone in the email application to silent.

Turn off automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15

On Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I am unable to turn off automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to turn off auto updates for Add-ons and Search Engines.

Possibly you have obtained a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or whatever may have been modified.
If work requires you to develop on certain versions, and you are doing some of that on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I trust the required versions will be the currently supported versions; at the moment that is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
You should ensure you use multiple profiles so each has a unique profile.
For the current problematic firefox 6 do a clean install, deleting the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional install in a custom location with a new profile - allowing you to retain the current firefox 6, and a standard firefox 6) Profiles may be cloned/copied if required, bookmark libraries may be accessed from other versions/profiles if necessary, and multiple versions can be run concurrently. ( I talk from a Windows perspective, but it is unlikely Linux is going to differ)

That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

Help needed to turn off camera sound 6120c

Hi friends,,
Can someone help to to get rid of the sound that camera makes while capturing image with model 6120c.I could not find the option to turn off this sound. Is there any other unofficial way to stop this?
Thanks & Best regards

Of course it is a big deal!
The shutter sound is very annoying when you snap a pic in a lecture hall, museum, zoo, theatre, school, etc. Covering the speaker is not a realistic option. The invention of digital cameras without moving parts made it possible to shoot pictures without bothering your enviroment with undesired noise. By forcing a synthetic shutter sound down our throat Nokia turned back the clock.
That camera noise is not just inconvenient, it's more than that. Should we allow a handful of countries with mandatory shutter sound to force their rules onto the entire world? In some places you enter a legal minefield if you have a beer with your picknick in the park. Should we let brewers force-feed us their version of a digital shutter sound in the form of an unremovable brown paper bag on each and every bottle on the planet?

How to turn off surround sound?

I am using Adobe Audition 3.0 for recording and mixing/mastering my music. I also use effects like reverb.
The problem is, when I mix it down, it turns into an audio file that has surround sound.
I don't want this, because you can hear strange sounds like echoes coming from the two back speakers, which causes the song to sound much more worse than when it comes just from two speakers.
So my question is: how can I turn off surround sound?
Thanks

Since MP3 files don't inherently support Surround, I suspect that the reason for your strange rear noises has nothing to do with the format you are saving in at all, and everything to do with the way your speakers are set up to run on the PC. If you go to the Control Panel's 'Sounds' tab, you may find that there's a very simple solution to this!

How to turn off camera sound???

Every time i start a vid or take a screenshot or photo it makes the shutter sound and ive put it on mute and everything HOW DO I TURN IT OFF???? I WANT TO TAKE PICS OF PEOPLE PLAYING GAMES IN CLASS BUT I CANT BECAUSE OF THE SOUND!!!!!!!

In the US, it is possible to turn off the sound, but not just by using the mute switch (I know, I tried that and it did not work for me).
Golfnhi's solution did work for me.
I need to have the camera silent because I mostly use it to scan portions of books at the library for research. Yes, that is allowed. I checked with the librarian. However, I do not want to bother other patrons of the library with the constant shutter sound. It is simply too annoying. So, I'm glad there is a solution out there.

How to turn off camera sound on Nokia E5

I cannot turn off camera sound on Nokia E5-00. Who can help me?

@navbond007
Hi navbond007,
Digital camera's do have a sounds when a picture is being taken but this noise isn't artificial like in mobile phones it is the shutter mechanism. Some digital camera's shutter makes a low or no noise but they do have a beep to give an indication that a picture is being taken. In countries where this is compulsory by law it should give some indication that a picture is being taken.
Also please take into account one device is a phone and the other a dedicated camera.

How to turn off camera sound lenovo s6000

how to turn off camera sound lenovo s6000?
thank you

well , you're right, but the law argues that a digital camera looks like a digital camera so it's easier to spot by the person being photographed. also, a digital camera has no other function but to take pictures, so one can't assume it's being used for any othe purpose. on the othe hand, a phone can't be identified as a camera right away. so it's easier to take pictures of unwilling subjects.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge
