Do you have google as your home page?

Could it be the sound played by the game they are displaying today in the header?

Google changed their home page today to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PACMAN. If you leave your mouse over the header, the game actually starts including music and sound effects.

This is not a bug, and it'll go away by itself tomorrow.

well after posting my bug report, i reinstalled firefox & its solved. I have google reader as my homepage, but i had several tabs open, google reader & gmail was among them but not google's homepage. I checked the homepage & its indeed PACMAN's sound lol. At first I though its linux virus (although i was sure it couldnt be) then i quite firefox to discover it was it, so I thought it was a browser bug or virus, but eventually you guys lead me to the fact that its a PACMAN virus LOL. thx guys
