flash&FF freeze for 3 seconds, started from Windows update
After latest windows security update, right after opening video (in youtube at least) both flash and FF take 50/50% respectively from memory for ab. 3 seconds which freezes everything and return to normal after this. Haven't tried on other than Firefox but it happens on two different computers with visa and windows 7.

Do you have any ask.com toolbars or toolbars from other companies related to ask.com searches. Rather a long-shot, but that has been implicated in causing problems with Flash freezing in Firefox 9
General advice
- check all software is up-to-date including
- plugins use: http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/
- and extensions, see troubleshooting extensions and themes_updating-extensions
( it is probably worth scrolling and reading the entire article )
- read and follow the advice in Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems
- and also use Adobe's check IN EACH BROWSER http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
- read latest firefox issues that is updated every now and again and may have mention of or links relating to new problems
checked that works on IE normally and no stickies there, tried FF 10 but does same thing, never had ask.com
-software up-to-date, extensions seem to be some problem but I'm *not* dropping adblock, browsing protection *and* framework assistant! especially since the problem started from windows update! and yes, I'd have to remove them all.
-Flash up-to-date, hardware acceleration has never been on, abode check in IE showed it wasn't latest and had to un-instal&reload flash to get that to-date... which it is now.
And it still does the same! Every time video opens FF and flash go 50% both for ab. 3 seconds and the whole thing sticks!
So, ideas? This whole mess started from the latest Windows security update, and seems to do its thing in both FF and flash, so could either of you do something?
