Hello.

I have noticed some problems with firefox when flash componenets are on the websites. (same websites works flawlessly on chrome and IE). There are 2 symptoms that are bothering me:

1. The flash componenets like youtube embebed video, or even the youtube website itself have the video bugging oout whenever im scrolling the site. Here are the screenshots of what happens when i scroll and then when i mouseover the component: a) http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1616/flashbug1.jpg b) http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/11/flashbug2.jpg

2. When some flash objects are on the website, i cannot resize the browser's window... nor minimize it... its stuck and totally unchangeable and unmovable untill i close the website with that flash component (never had this problem before with the websites im experiencing this problem with).

I have latest firefox and latest adobe flash players installed. Using windows 7 64. Nvidia gtx480 gpu with latest drivers.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Try to "disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player.

Also, you may want to try disabling "smooth scrolling" here:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General

Hello.

I have already tryied disabling hardware acceleration in firefox and i dont use smoothing at all. Didnt liked it.

Well it did not change a thing. I wont disable flash acceleration cause its not related (it works well on other browsers). So i would earlier change browser than hinder flash performance on my PC - but anyway i doubt its the reason, cause i havehad flash acceleration before and didnt had problems with firefox. All things points on firefox or... some of the plugins... but i havent installed any new plugin but "AVG do not track" that keeps a check on cookies, so i doubt its the reason either.

Nonetheless thank you for your suggestions.
