When I opened Firefox today, I got weird sounds, like PacMan, and an ambulance siren, and I am unable to find a way to stop the noises. Cox Communications was no help, but the agent stated that he had heard the same sound yesterday when opening the Google
Issue
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
Description
When opening my firefox browser page, I get a sound like an ambulance siren, and sounds that a tech at Cox Communications id'ed as PacMan noise. The tech also stated that he heard the same noise on the Google browser page yesterday. Any suggestions/solutions?

Any answers to this major annoyance?!
Please help ..does any one know how to stop this?
Disabling Cool Preview kills the noise
I read some of the comments and i heard disabling cool previews worked. Get noscript. That works too.
Is there no answer? OUT with Firefox
Extremely annoying and without a word of warning that this was going to happen nor any kind of solution as to how to stop.
Neither is there an option on the google page to TURN THE SOUND OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the noise is driving me craaazy!! stop it now.
I have the same issue. Reboot, reload not working. Have turned off sound but how do I use Skype etc? Any solutions yet?
Wow! Whoever came up with the answer to this terrible issue...congratulations! Man, was that awful. Just like everyone else I was stumped as to how to get rid of it. Disabled Cool Preview and that worked! Thanks! Firefox should notify it's customers of this problem.
steph FF user
Same problem. Looks like I'm not alone. Don't have this issue on Internet Explorer.
just disable cool prewiew if you have it...
I thought the ambulance sound was a virus in firefox but
Just upgrade cool preview, problem solved..
oh my god, make it stop!!!
Started this afternoon
i had the same annoying siren sound... because google is trying to annoy the hell out of us with pacman anniversary. here's is a quick fix. In your firefox browser go to Tools > Add-ons then look for Cool Preview in the window that pops up and select uninstall, restart firefox after and that should fix the problem... if not maybe u need to start running because its the cops...
and guys don't blame firefox its still the best browser yet... peace and u can always reinstall cool previews after...
Firefox and add-on glitch causing pacman music to play continuously. Its the cool previews add-on
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! can restart in a couple of days. Make sure you disable the add-on not just turn it off
have the same problem!! no matter what website I'm on it goes off. I closed down each website and it never stopped until I closed firefox-thought it was a virus!
