There is an anoying sound when an error message pops up in FF. I looked in the preferences but there doesn't seem to be an option to disable it.

Settings may have changed in a couple years in Ubuntu but this gives an idea of where to look.

Firefox itself does not have such sound notifications.

This is on Linux and not Windows but you are on right track.

I don't think there is an error sound in Firefox unless its from an Add-on. What is the error reported?
