Shut Those Musical Websites the Hell Up

I've finally had it with websites that try to create some kind of magical otherworldly experience by blasting whatever music or sound effect out of my computer speakers. Up to now it's simply resulted in me quickly hitting the back button to silence the annoyance. I stumbled upon a website tonight with music (yes with the stumbler extension) and finally had enough. The test subject is this Living With War website. There's no mute button that I can find on the page. I shouldn't have to find the stupid mute button though. Neil Young you're great but come-on!
Attempt #1
To begin with, I'm going to try this Stop Autoplay extension and see how it goes.
Results:
FAIL!
Explanation: I cleared the cache and reloaded the website. I even restarted the browser and the music kept on playing.
Attempt #2
Modified Firefox itself.
Tools-> Options-> Content-> Manage
I found anything in the list that looked like it might be an audio file and switched it from using a plugin like quicktime to simply saving it to disc.
Results:
SO FAR SO GOOD
