mute sounds from firefox

I hear many beep sounds.  I want to mute these sounds in firefox rather than changing settings on websites I visit.

But I am using my headset and do not wish to mute silence all sounds.

Probably the best way is to go to Windows Control Panel, Sounds and the Sounds Tab. Then mute the individual beeps and sounds you do not want. This will not mute all sounds.

Internet Explorer uses Windows Sounds and I expect Firefox does as well.

I would use the no-script add-on and white list only the websites you want to allow sounds and Java scripts on.

You should probably use flashblock in addition to no-script to limit the number of flash elements on a page that you whitelist in no-script.

That's a good one Sudeep. However,  that will also mute all sounds including you tube or any video sounds.

windows7
website is not flash video, just chat beeping
Doesn't the chat client have sound controls?  What chat client?  Perhaps We can give you the instructions to control it there.
You should be able to mute just the beep if you wish with Windows Sound settings. Did you try? and what was the outcome?

this is not a windows beeping, it is a website beeping

freelancer.com appears to be a chat but there is no chat dialog.

Can not be disabled in website preferences; I asked support.


Difficult to test unless you have a login

Many coders responding and many beeping noises

My sound mixer did  have flash.  
So the sound mixer answers are the best.

Thanks.
