Hi Doug, A couple things you can try. Unplug your connection to the Net before launching Firefox; if your Home Page has been changed, this should disable the page load so you can look under tools/options to check the Home Page setting. If the silly thing plays anyway then it is stored on your PC. Emptying your Internet Cache will help if you can hear your speech over the file playing. I'd do a scan for Spyware just in case. The other option would be a hardware synth to get around the mixing of speech with sound. Just some thoughts.

That's what it is under XP. Not sure how it is with Vista, if that's what you're running. It's always a good idea to make sure that when you uninstall programs, they do a clean uninstall, which usually involves going in and possibly deleting any leftover application data associated with that program. Having had to reinstall Firefox fairly recently, I know I had to mannually delete the Firefox folder from my app data.
