When there is an event, firefox will call nsSound->Beep(). and if visual bell is on in window manager, just active window will be flashed, not firefox.







Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. turn on visual bell in your window manager
2. download some file on remote host
3. change window focus to other app.

Actual Results:  
focused window will be flashed when download completed

Expected Results:  
firefox window must be flashed when download completed

gdk_window_beep () can be used since gtk+ 2.12. 

but current firefox is required gtk+ 2.10.

This is a mass search for bugs that are in the Firefox General component, are
UNCO, and have not been changed for 800 days and have an unspecified version. 

Reporter, can you please update to Firefox 3.6.10, create a fresh profile,

still see the bug, please update this bug. If the issue is gone, please set the
resolution to RESOLVED > WORKSFORME.
