Google.com is your homepage. Use google search quickly, it will go away. Or don't go to google.com today as it is a feature of the site today :)

Yup me to, unable to turn it off, I can not watch videos either without them crap noises playing over the top. Who in google thaught this was a good idea? some prze A-hole.

Google is linked in the original home page of firefox. I don't see it becaus I start with an empty page but shure here the noise. first I thought is was some virus or something.

I have a XP PC not showing the problem But This PC with Vista gets me crazy. All you can do is deactivate the shock wave plugin. It stops. than you can reactivate and start browsing. Not a big deal but what is the google engine doing in my Firefow installation ?? Fishy fishy ?? I would like some top nerds look into this because I don't want google sniffing on me without me using the search engine !!!
