Disable sound on websites?

Is there an option in firefox to disable sound in websites? There are so many clueless web designers out there who think it's a good idea to blast out sound when you have the misfortune of stumbling upon their crappy little flash website.

In Windows Vista and up you can selectively choose to silence a particular application. Not perfect I know but you could just mute Firefox until needed. Just click on the volume icon in the notification area.

All that shows up when I click that is "speakers" and "system sounds".

Start > Run > SndVol.exe

/edit: Ignore, I thought you meant you couldn't open the volume control.

that's because it only shows applications making sound. start a youtube video or something and then you should see "plugin container for firefox" listed.

is it just flash that you wish to block? if so http://is.gd/QXsO7S explains what you need.

is it all sound from firefox altogether? then its just as the knowledgeable guy said above >> http://is.gd/frW4X9
