The «Play a sound» option in Preferences->Privacy & Security->Popup Windows pane always select system alert. If I try to set another sound, I hear always alert system.

I see this as well in Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061030 SeaMonkey/1.1b.   I placed a sound file, popup.wav
on my desktop and set

[x] Play a sound
[/Users/rich/Desktop/popup.wav     ]

The alert sound played anyway.

Looks like this is a dup of bug 191614, although that bug hasn't had any comments since 2004...

This bug is still there on SeaMonkey/1.1.6 ( Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071030).  

The popup blocking sound defaults to the currently selected OSX system alert sound, regardless of the "System Preferences/Sound/Play User Interface Sound Effects" setting.

The mail notification sound (Preferences/Mail and Newsgroups/Notifications) operates as expected and can select a custom .wav file sound.
