After upgrading to Snow Leopard on my Mac, Firefox makes typewriter or paper crinkling sounds when going to links and sites

I just upgraded to OS 10.6.8 from 10.5 so I could run iTunes 10.7 (because 10.6 wouldn't work with iPhone 5) and now everytime I go to a any URL, I hear typewriter or paper crinkling sounds. It doesn't do it if I use Safari (I rather not, though) and it doesn't do it using any other applications. I went to the Apple store and none of the "Geniuses" had any idea what's causing it. Any thoughts?

Does the sound seem to be triggered by the navigation to a new page, like the old Internet Explorer "click"?

What Extensions do you have installed? You can copy and paste a list from the following page:

Help > Troubleshooting Information (it's the second table)

The format may look bad when you paste, but regular visitors here should be able to make some sense of it.
