I have a 2 windows 7 pc. The one at work does not make a annoying sound when I open a tab but my new dell makes the noise. If it has to make a noise I will stop using firefox. Please let me know how to proceed.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here (for example noscript may have alerts once it blocks scripts)...

When you open a new tab it lists the previous websites down below that you could click on to go to right away.

When you click a new tab there is a settings key on the upper left that if you choose ENHANCED or CLASSIC I believe that is where you get the annoying noise. If you choose Blank then the noise does not sound.
