I had no problems with Firefox till version 3.6 but updating to Version 4.0 was my nemesis. It is idiotic, heavy and a hell lot of entries have come into config file.
</p><p>It is now finally giving some tough competition to IE, by becoming as idiotic as IE.
</p>I have this problem too.
Does an update will come soon?

</p>It seems it doesn't matter as since update for my plug ins firefox as a whole as slowed way way down2010-09-25T10:50:26-07:00B.SkiLLshttps://support.mozilla.org/mk/questions/714823?page=2#answer-106318<p>It seems it doesn't matter as since update for my plug ins firefox as a whole as slowed way way down and running resources like crazy. Need to fix this. I have been checking around for answers and dont seem to find an easy solution or update to fix this so ff is fast again. It also doesnt seem to be just when on a page with flash on it. It slows all pages down. Once have like 3 pages / tabs open. Fast computer to so this should be fast as heck like it normally is. Thats one main reason for firefox. Cause it runs fast but now slow as can be as of 3 days ago. I updated flash, all plugins and extensions but still slow.
</p><p>Anybody have any fixes for this and my like posted issue please share. I will be creating a thread myself on this as well so can post there to if dont mind.

</p><p>I'm a webdesigner. I'm contructing websites with joomla. I'm rarely using flash animations because it occurs many problems on the site. ( XHMTL validation problems ). I was designing a flash headered site and I faced this problem too. ( in IE no problem everything gone smooth and in Firefox it was slow and page loaded also slowly). The problem is that firefox flash pulign cannot handle transparent background in the movie. It means that if somebody has "slow mashine" felling (in Firefox and not in IE) it is surely used a flash with transparent background. This is a bug of Firefox, im sure, beacuse my site was tested in IE and Chrome and no problem arised.
</p>I have the same performance problems with FF 3.6.8 and Flash 10.1.82.76 on a Win XP system.

</p><p>The performance for some flash sites in MS IE8 is unfortunately better by factors - especially after images etc. are cached. On FF (for version &gt; 3.6.3) it seems that cashing for flash contents - e.g. jpg-images that are loaded by the flash swf - does not work at all.
</p><p>The bad flash performance is by the way independent of any flash settings (e.g. hardware acceleration).
</p><p>Interestingly, none of the problems I have with FF under Win XP (32 Bit) occurs for FF 3.6.8 and the present flash plugin 10.1.82.76 under Linux (Opensuse 11.3 x86_64) . This should give the FF developers something to think about ....

</p><p>As Kendal recommends, use in the meanwhile a previous version or a beta, i'm using now 4.0b1 and all my settings, addons and flash are working pretty good, also you can keep the 3.6.x version without any conflicts&nbsp;:)

</p>It also crashes them! It's the stupid plugin-container.exe that causes the trouble.

</p><p>I tried disabling OOPP and restarting Firefox 3.6.6. No change. Flash content is still insanely slow. Tried the newest Adobe 10.1.8x beta release. No difference.
</p><p>I went back to Firefox 3.6.3 trying both Flash versions. Flash content now plays at a reasonable frame rate. I went back to Firefox 3.5.10. It seems slightly faster with Flash content.
</p><p>I also tried the latest Safari and Chrome to compare(using same flash). They were always faster at playing flash content than with the 3.6.x browsers. 3.6.3 can display flash at a reasonable frame rate, but 3.6.6 stutters and freezes constantly. They also don't use up &gt;60% of my i5-750 like 3.6.6 does.
</p><p>I also disabled hardware acceleration on flash. This actually made it worse. I have a debug version of the beta Flash 10.1.8x if there's any testing I could do with that to be helpful.
</p><p>Mouse click is also not recognized very well or has a delay.
</p>
<hr>
<p>Is there an actual bug ticket for the slow framerate/stutter/whatever you want to call it with Flash?
</p><p>Has there been contact with Adobe? Is it an adobe issue?(doubtful since safari/chrome/opera are okay with it)
</p><p>Is there any information we can provide that will be helpful?
</p><p>Is there a diagnostic tool that might provide more information to help with this?
</p><p>Thanks,

perhaps the problem is Firefox is not threading properly. I upgraded to the beta version of 3.6.7 and while it solved some of the issues with some of the sites - when I went to TSN (my new test site because it's so flash heavy) it was still extremely sluggish.

</p><p>Flash content very slow/choppy. I would guess 50% frame rate drop over firefox 3.5.10. Downgrade to 3.5.10 fixes issue.
