videos (youtube, liveleak, etc.) lock up after playing for 2 or 3 seconds. i can watch a couple, but then need to hard boot the machine to watch more. very annoying.  videos are still watchable on IE when this is occurring with FF.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.select video, and watch it.
2. select another video, and the play stops after a few seconds
3. reboot computer, and repeat process.


Expected Results:  
videos should play one after another

forgot to mention that flash games, etc, play poorly or not at all after the video issue occurs.
