Lately, every time I open a flash video (such as browsing youtube), I quote often get a 4-5 second complete firefox stop, with 100% cpu usage, before the movie starts.

And half of the apple.com trailers stopped working recently, random example : http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/therocker/trailer_large.html , I've tried switching a bit between embeded players, but it hasn't worked.

Has anyone solved any of these two problems lately? Didn't find anything with a quick search.

did you try to run firefox from a terminal in order to see if there is some output?

Hi, I am also experiencing the first problem: upon certain flash videos complete Firefox freeze for a few seconds.

Have you found any solution yet?

Thanks

I removed all my firefox plugins, and installed latest stable flash. After that I haven't had any issues.
