When I play a youtube video in one tab, then scroll up and down in any tab, the audio from the youtube video gets choppy and cuts out for a second. How to fix?

I just want to be able to go on other websites and scroll while playing music (smoothly) on youtube in another tab.

I don't think this happened until after I updated my firefox to 13 and my shockwave flash plug-in to 11.3.300.257

How can I fix this cutting out and choppy-ness in youtube videos when I scroll?

Thanks so much!

Try to disable hardware acceleration.


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

Thanks. Disabling both Firefox's and Flash's hardware acceleration seemed to help, but it still not completely gone. Any ideas about how to make it go away completely?

My computer used to be able to do it, so I don't think it is because of any limitations of my computer (which is a kinda slow). What do you think?
