I'm running Os x 10.5.8 and have fully updated my adobe flash for firefox. Every time I try to play a video on the BBC news website Firefox freezes, then crashes. Sometimes, but rarely upon reopening the video will work and it wont crash again. This problem only started with the latest patch on firefox. I run "NoScript" and "Adblock" but even with these turned off the problem persists.

I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.5 - and exactly the same problem. It seemed to start with Firefox 3.6.12 and 'latest' Flash upgrade (both done at the same time). Ive tried going back to the previous versions, but makes no difference.

Seems to be on 'auto-play' news video clips within the BBC news website, the loading info is 'stats.bbc.co.uk' as the dots spin - then crash...

Very annoying - is anybody looking at this Mozilla?
