There are ads on webpages that start playing sound for no reason at all and there appears to be no way to stop these sounds. So, I am forced to mute my computer until the ad stops playing which can be minutes or hours or until I find the webpage that is playing the sound. In IE, there is a way to turn off sound from webpages but I haven't found that in Firefox yet. Perhaps this is something you can fix.

Try these about:config settings

media.autoplay.enabled user set boolean False
browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs user set integer 0

I notice that the second one for me is 3 (default), don't know if I changed it or or if Firefox did.

More information on configuration variables available in about:config (entries) and for users not familiar with the process there is about:config (How to change) -- Specialized list of only Tabs configuration variables.
