How does one get FireFox to not make annoying sounds when a text search
fails?  The only relevant (ie: the only thing with "sound" in it)
preference I could find is "accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound",
which doesn't seem to do what I want.

Whomever thought that software should make noises when doing something
as common as searching for text really needs to find an exciting career
in minesweeping.  Let's see how he likes unexpected sounds then.
