Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1602033

(Core :: Find Backend, defect)

Description

[Jakob Kramer Hero]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1401678 +++

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build ID: 20170824053622

I reported this bug in 2017, where it was verified and fixed. Now, however, the bug has reappeared in the latest version of Firefox (possibly earlier, I'm not sure).

Steps to reproduce:

I have set Firefox to automatically search for text in a page when I start typing. When typing a text that's not on the page, Firefox used to make a (system) "error" sound, so you would know that the text was not on the page, even when you were not looking at the screen. This sound is not being played anymore.

To reproduce:
Search for a text on a page, and write something that is not on the page.

I have tested both with and without extensions activated without luck.

In about_config I have checked, that
accessibility.typeaheadfind.soundURL is set to "beep"
accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound set to true

I have also made sure that the Windows system sound in question is present and activated.

Actual results:

No sound was played

Expected results:

Firefox should play a sound.
