I am listening to music on my computer. As I surf the net various websites play sounds I don't want to hear. How can I silence the browser? I can't turn down the volume on my computer because I can't hear my music?

Does Firefox show in the Windows Vista Volume Mixer?

On Vista you can set the volume in the mixer for each application, so you can set the volume level for Firefox to 0

See What to do if Firefox won't play any sounds and Fix common audio and video issues

You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.
