Certain web pages you go to pay sounds that are really annoying. The good ones have a button to turn them off, others do not.

Now I know I can just turn my speakers off, but if I am playing music from Winamp, that's not the best idea.

Anyone have ideas on how to do this for both IE 7 and Firefox 2?

 

Tools-Internet Options-Advanced

then uncheck 'play sounds in webpages'

 

It was that simple

thanks

how about in firefox? I dont see those options available

 

Dunno - never used it?

 

mozdev.org - flashblock: index

 

this is how you block background sounds:
put this in your userContent.css file:
/* block embedded sounds */
object[data*=”.mid”],embed[src*=”.mid”] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=”.mp2”],embed[src*=”.mp2”] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=”.mp3”],embed[src*=”.mp3”] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=”.mp4”],embed[src*=”.mp4”] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=”.wav”],embed[src*=”.wav”] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=”.wma”],embed[src*=”.wma”] { display: none !important; }
this will block anything in an embed tag with .mid … in it. unlike adblock, you can still search for mid on google and download mp3’s from a direct link, etc. you can also use this to block embedded mov, mpg, etc.
(on windows, you can find that here: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxx.default\chrom e\userContent.css)
(you have to create that file, it won’t be there if you haven’t already)
