There's a problem with Verizon's website for texting, www.vtext.com . Their
website isn't entirely browser-friendly, but this is a problem I'm only getting
with Camino and no other Mozilla-based browser. If you start typing in the "Your
Message:" box, the typing gets really slow and the Flash ads on the page start
playing slowly too. I know those forms heavily use JavaScript, so it seems like
it might be a problem with JavaScript-controlled forms conflicting with the
Flash plugin? I have Flash version "7,0,24,0" installed.

Reproducible: Always

this is a dupe of our "typing gets slow on page with animated images" bug.

This very URL was reported before :-)  We duped it to the straight slow typing
one rather than the animated elments redraw one, though.
