Bug Description

Firefox 3.5 use Ubuntu's system sounds. This is fine until you have multiple tabs open when you hit close the system sound that firefox uses is the logout drums. This may confuse new users who may assume that they have just logged out or shut the system down.

Step to reproduce
1/ install firefox3.5
2/ open multiple tabs with different sites
3/ close firefox3.5 rather than a tab
4/ hear the system logout drums play as the confirmation window appears.

Is there any way to silence Firefox, other than muting my speaker? I went through all the preferences and didn't see any way to turn off sounds, much less configure them.

Tessa: i disabled the sound from Gnome Preferences->Sound->Sounds tab, unchecking "play alerts and sound effects"

I have to disable all sound effects because no of the standard effects are mapped to the drum roll sound effect as played from firefox 3.5

firefox plays the standard canberra/xdg sound for "dialog question":

ubuntu-sounds: /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/dialog-question.wav

moving to the sound package as the sound feels suboptimal.

By the way, there is no place to configure custom sounds. You just have the option to select between the 4-5 Themes. This is was still available in 9.04....
