Stop Firefox JavaScript alert from beeping

Question

When a JavaScript calls the alert() method, Firefox send out a BEEP in my headphones. Does any one know how to stop that sound?

I am running the newest Fedora Linux with Firefox 3.6.16 using Kde as desktop environment.

IMHO, You need to execute this command:

xset b off

This command will stop all the bell sent to your headphone or to your cpu.

Check out this SO post for a couple of suggestions. It looks like you may not be able to block those that happen during page load, though.
