myLot reputation of 99/100. MagicalBubbles (1913)   ranked 4,847 out of 8,747 in computers 2 years ago

I work from home for a company in another country. I used to be able to work with Internet Explorer but now they say I have to use Firefox. Fine, I installed it and its going alright. Im getting used to it.....BUT I have a bit of a problem with it and even though I asked my question on the Firefox forum, nobody answered me.

I need to have a sound when the page refreshes. It does in Internet Explorer but NOT in Firefox and its driving me insane to not have a sound. It means that I dont know when I have to work.

Can someone PLEASE help me with this?

I'm not sure if this will work as someone more computer savvy will have a better answer I would think.

Anyway, I can switch from Firefox to IE without logging out first by clicking on a Coral IE tab and right clicking. This is shown at the bottom and is a Firefox add-on. Not too sure if it will help with the page refreshing..other than that could it be a problem with the volume settings?

I can't think of anything else. I wish I could because your problem would drive me nuts as well!whistle

Drove me nuts all day while I was working and I googled to no end until I finally found "live chat" for Firefox. It was closed but I managed to find someone finally. Welllll, they do have a addon that does fix this. So I do have sound now thumbup YAY!!

Thanks for your suggestion, it wasnt what I was looking for but at least I managed to fix the problem.

Nice magical, thanks for this information. I never knew that this add on existed and will prove to be helpful to others for sure. Thanks for sharing. Glad it is working for you now.

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together...not my plan in this case but at least it was another Firefox addon. Excellent!happy

Hi
In the same dilemma as you!! I do not think that Firefox has sound attachments so whenever I work a lot on the internet I prefer using IE.
Maybe if you write to the Mozilla people they will guide you more on this - let me
know their replythumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. MagicalBubbles (1913)   ranked 4,847 out of 8,747 in computers  2 years ago

Hi,

Well it took me all day looking for it but I managed to get someone in "live chat" and I DO have sound now in Firefox.

Heres the link if you're interested:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1030/

Now Im looking for sound in Google Chrome but they seem to NOT care about all the users looking for sound. They dont have "live chat" and they dont even bother to reply to requests. So I guess sound in Google Chrome wont happen anytime soon.

Yes this is a very nice addon. It will resolve your query, i believe. I have used it once, but forgot its name thanks @MagicalBubbles.


myLot reputation of 99/100. MagicalBubbles (1913)   ranked 4,847 out of 8,747 in computers  2 years ago

You're welcome Srirambond007!!

Sorry, I cant help you any with this. Im not really a good hand with computers. But could be a glitch in Firefix. Try unloading then reloading it if not I have no idea.
