(this is related to Flash plug-in, but not quite same as others are reporting) When playing SWF video, and selecting another 'sub-video', ... - none of the firefox windows responds - Unable to close with Alt-F4 - Unable to activate with Alt-Tab - right-click of Firefox windows on Task Bar either shows nothing, or else unselectable options - Until video starts loading, nothing works - Once video starts loading, everything starts working If I force close firefox, I get "Firefox is not responding"

I can make this happen almost on demand when watching SWF with sub-videos in them
