By pressing Ctrl-F (Windows) or Cmd-F (Mac), the find bar appears at the bottom of the Mozilla Firefox window. On Windows XP, pressing forward slash (/) also works. I use it a lot to find a certain phrase or word in a page, but one thing that really annoys me is the sound, if you can call it a sound that's played when the phrase is not found in the page by Firefox.
Read the rest of The "find in page" sound and how to disable it.
thank you! that was one of the most annoying sounds I've ever heard
thx A LOAD man.. geez that sound was annoying and i'm not talking about barbra streisand annoying, this was heavy stuff.
this sweet advice eased my life a lot. have a nice day and keep up the good work.
greetings

That sound... what were they thinking?
Bless you!
Why they didn't make it easyier to turn that sound off is beond me! You'd think Just a right click on the find bar should bring up an option to 'Turn Off Sounds'!
But I'm happy now - nice & quiet. Thanks so much!
Trying to figure out how to turn off that anoying sound from the "find" bar. Happened on to this page, but no answer yet. Anyone know? Troy. #
Thank you so, so much...I hated that sound.
Cool! Exactly what i was looking for. Thx.
Wonderful -- exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
Thanks sooo much for the info. This was driving me nuts, I actually started muting every time I used the find feature.
THANK you. The worst was wearing headphones and listening to music, then being blasted by the sound of doom when I couldn't find a word in the page.
Oh that is *so* much better. Thank you! What were they thinking making the sound so nasty and so incredibly loud?
Thanks, that Firefox "fart" sound as you named it was really annoying me, thank goodness it's off now!
God bless you. i've been startled out of my chair many times by that sound from hell.
Thanks a lot. Just the information I was looking for. How unusual!
Thanks alot, the worse is if after watching some movie or listening to some music real loud, then going to firefox and getting that sound at full volume unexpectedly. Freakin' scared me so many times...
THANKS SO MUCH -- I was almost going to switch back to IE i hated that sound soo much.
Thank you very much, that sound was driving me mad.
sweet thanks
i don't know why the ff devs think they can just stick their sounds all up in people's faces
Thank you, thank you, thank you :-)
Thanks ! ! That took care of my issue.

Thanks, this was just what I was looking for! Btw, is there anyway to also turn off all Firefox sounds, like from Flash and other objects that automatically load?
