The same thing is happening on my laptop! It's soooo annoying. No problems with other internet browsers, just firefox. It started just this morning.

It's Pac-Man's 30th Birthday today, and Google's homepage is a playable Pac-Man game around the Google logo. My boyfriend had the same problem, then I went to Google and was like Hey, it's Pac-Man! And then the siren started. He plays fine on my laptop, but for some reason the music is stuck on his computer.

All you have to do is disable the "Cool Previews" add on for firefox. Go to the "Tools" link at the top of the browser, go down to "Add Ons", go to the "Cool Previews", click "Disable". Then restart firefox and it should be fine!a

On my computer it was the cool preview add-on so you should try through trial and error to find out which add-on is causing Google's PAC-man game too bug
