As far as I am personally concerned, the ability for J-Random website to launch
into some weird sound file or Flash movie is a BAD IDEA(tm). I would dearly love
a browser preference to TURN OFF the music!  I'm able to use my own fonts and my
own colors if I prefer, and I can set things to refuse someone else's buggy Java
script but there seems to be no way (short of the mute button on my keyboard) to
bypass someone else's favorite sound file when I hit their page.

if it's possible to make a preference for this PLEASE consider it!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try moveabletype.com (which I periodically get to entirely by accident)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Flash! Music! Gack!

Expected Results:  
Let me tell it NOT to start the movie, and especially NOT to play the music.
