Confirmed.
Only happens in Nightly.
The latest Firefox doesn't have this issue, only Nightly has it.

Also, it doesn't happen on Chrome or Internet Explorer!

It might be less noticeable if your PC is fast.

Please post your Graphic section from about:support.
Is it still reproducible if you set to "false" these 3 options in about:config?
-gfx.vsync.compositor
-gfx.vsync.hw-vsync.enabled
-gfx.vsync.refreshdriver

Yes, even with these entries set to "false" I can see the stutter.

Can you still reproduce the issue with clean new fresh profile without any addons and plugins?

Comment 6

[Mikel]

Yes, and I have some new finding regarding this issue:
1) It happens *only* when the video is in the view port, i.e., scrolling at the bottom of the page is a lot smoother (or you can say, 100% smooth for the record).
2) It seems that when the video is in the view port (being at the top of page), scrolling the tab bar causes the video to be drawn completely blank.
the video restores upon a page scroll.

Hope this helps to identify the issue a bit better.

I could reproduce on Nightly 40.0a1 3015-04-01 under Win 7 64-bit.
The Shockwave Flash plugin has crashed (not reproduced on another machine with AMD Radeon HD 5450).

Can you still reproduce this? 
I'm not able to with nightly build, new profile, Intel HD 3000 graphics. 
(I also could try NVDIA quadro)

Unable to reproduce the issue with the latest Nightly.
It seems like the site isn't using flash player anymore, so the issue can be closed.
