When watching Flash videos on any kind of website that offers them (Youtube etc.), the video freezes a few milliseconds or seconds after pressing the play button, even though the video is fully loaded. Whenever I press play again it just repeats that bug.

Usually it happens when I have more than one tab open with Flash video content, or when I had Firefox open for a longer time and then visit a Flash video website.

Closing and restarting Firefox fixes the problem. So I guess it might be a memory bug with the latest Flash version.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a website with Flash videos/streams
2. Wait until the video is fully loaded
3. Press play
Actual Results:  
Flash video stops/freezes after a few milli- or 2-3 seconds.

Expected Results:  
Play the whole video without freezing, unless I press pause or stop myself.

- Adobe Flash plugin version 9.0.124.0 installed
- 2GB RAM
Maybe a busy server?
No, has happened over the time of some weeks now, on different websites that have Flash videos. A few members from a forum I visit reported the same behaviour.

This happens to me as well, with EVERY video I play using Mozilla.
I am forced to go back to IE as it does not happen with them.
WHY WHY WHY ?????
Pls fix.
debbi, please use the latest flash plugin
