How to remove the beep sound from Firefox Search
By maurizio | April 15, 2007
While I was writing How to set Firefox Network Pipelining, I saw another useful setup you can do on “about:config”.
If you are an avid surfer like me you’ll probably use one of the most important feature that IE7 missed: the incremental search. The most annoying part of it is the beep sound when it doesn’t find the word you write.I hate to hear that loud beep when I’m listening to some music..
The key to remove it is to access again the “about:config” page and look for
accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound
and set it to false. Easy isn’t it?

Didn’t work for me :(
So I tried changing the accessibility.typeaheadfind.soundURL parameter as well. The combination worked until I navigated away from the about:config paged, then the sound came back.
This is frustrating.
