Nailed it! make deinstall, make reinstall, and it worked like a champ - no more beeping.

Yes, that sounds quite likely! I did that some time ago, because FF was puking on sites with complex javascript. Good call. I'll recompile without debugging...

FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #4: Sun Dec 14 22:08:22 PST 2008 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 FireFox 3.04. For instance, if I go to http://www.wsj.com, among others, it's constantly beeping, as the little headline scroller at the top of the page updates. I can't find anywhere in the menu items, or in FF help, on how to turn the beeping off, and it's driving me nuts. Anyone have a hint for me? IIRC, a beeping Firefox results as a "feature" of compiling it with debugging options enabled.

I have those, but actually *want* the headline scroller, and some of those other things - I just want the silly beep to go away. It seems to do this on any page that does autoupdates - gmail does it too, when a new message comes in.

At least none through the sound card which I know works. How can I test whether the pc speaker is working? Have you tried muting things with aumix or mixer? I can post my about:config from Firefox if you like, probably better off list.

I'm on 6.4-STABLE and the "Breaking News" and "Latest Headlines" are present but no beeping. If you can't find the problem you can shut off the beeping with: xset -b off Of course, the downside is it turns off _all_ beeping for everthing.
