when I scroll or just mouse-over links. Started a few days ago when I was listening to a ball game on mlb.com Gameday Audio. Then I noticed it was happening everywhere (YouTube, embedded video, etc.). I've tried disabling and updating plug-ins, running in safe mode, updating drivers and resetting Firefox — no good. Malware scan says I'm clean.

I'm tired of hearing "An---dre Ethier-r-r-r-r-r is hitting .362 with run-n-n-n-n-ners in sc---oring posit-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-tion."

hello oedi, you could try to turn off hardware acceleration in the flash plugin & see if this makes any difference...

Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems

Think I tried that a couple days ago, but I just did it again and it didn't help. :\

can you check in the windows task manager (ctrl+alt+esc) if the flash plugin process is consuming 100% cpu - if so you probably have to file a bug report for the site with adobe...

Also make sure that you allow the plugin-container and the Flash plugin in the firewall.
