331990 - Find toolbar error sound not linked to Windows Program Event

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 193923

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[BB Oros]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

If no instances of entered text are found using the Find Toolbar. Firefox generates an error sound. This sound can not be turned off.
This sound should not be Firefox-specific. It should reference the proper Windows Program Event, and therefore have the ability to be changed/turned off if desired.
There is a reason the "No Sounds" Scheme is chosen. It is because you don't want ANY system sounds. Firefox Find Toolbar should not override this. Very frustrating to be sitting in a classroom or library full of Firefox users and have to constantly listen to that rediculous "Phrase not found" ****.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set MS XP Sound Scheme to "No sounds"
2. Start Firefox
3. /
4. Enter any string not found on web page.

Sure it can be turned off
Enter about:config in the URL bar
and set "accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound" to FALSE
