Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

The only setting I've changed in the default sounds is to disable the "Alert Sound". I believe this is the default sound that firefox-3.5 tries to use when displaying an info or alert box.

However, instead of playing nothing (because the Alert Sound is unchecked), I hear the sound that GDM plays when prompting me to log in. Even when I re-check Alert Sound (and all four of its distinctions), the sound stays the same.

I reproduced this by opening two tabs, and pressing ctrl-q to bring up a box. However, I hear this sound on all alert and info boxes.

Yup, scares the bejeezus out of me when I close the browser before bed. I don't need to hear "WAKEY WAKEY DRUMS!" when I am closing my browser thanks. :)

Yes I have the same problem with non-packaged version (from mozilla's website) ... that's very disturbing...
