I stream The Rachel Maddow Show from the MSNBC website http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ The last couple of days the stream will freeze, but if I keep a 2nd tab open in the same browser window, all I have to do is click on that 2nd tab and the streaming resumes. WTF?? Seems odd to me. I noticed the last couple of months that some of the ads would freeze, but the last couple of days the show itself started freezing, and I discovered this work-around yesterday kind of by accident.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
