I made the mistake of going to aurora from the beta channel. Aurora had a low noise in the background, it will go away for a second then come back. I went back to the beta channel and that noise stuck around. I have flash blocked at the moment and still it is there.

Has anyone ran into this before? Any ideas as it is driving me freaking crazy?!? I have no idea what is causing it.

Chosen solution

This issue is solved. I just completely uninstalled and then started over. I had all of my plug-ins backed up as well as my bookmarks.

Re-installed, and restored my plug-ins and bookmarks and it is perfectly fine, not more buzz at all. I have no idea what the issue was, but when I restored my profile, it did not restart the problem, so I think that it was something corrupt in the firefox files and not in the profile. Thanks for your help though!! I appreciate it!

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.

Rename (or delete) the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

That was not helpful. I can't seem to find the issue. It has went away a couple of times, but twice the browser has crashed and both times it comes back when firefox is restarted.

It is there as soon as firefox opens again, it seems to have nothing to do with HTML 5 or Flash. I am at a loss on this one and have no idea of what to do. Hope to hear something from someone with any ideas!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
