User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; pl; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When I'm trying to load many flash movies (~30min - 3-7) at the same time Firefox is unstable. I can't use expanding menu (expand File, Edit, etc. or expand Adblock Plus options in a status bar) - that menu is invisible (visible is only menu outline)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Begin to load 3 to 7 flash movies
2. Wait few minutes (but don't let movies 100% loaded)
3. Try to expand File, Edit or whatever
Actual Results:  
You can't use expanding menu (expand File, Edit, etc. or expand Adblock Plus options in a status bar) - that menu is invisible (visible is only menu outline)

Expected Results:  
Expand visible and working menu

I'm using default theme

My computer configuration is :
AMD 3.11 GHz (64bit, 2 core)
4GB RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate (and Windows XP)
Geforce 9600GT 512MB
HDD 1TB

Just to be sure that this isn't a bug in an add-on, can you retest in safe-mode?
And do you mean 7 different sites or one site with 7 movies. In that case can you give a link?

First time i've met that error when I was using "clean" Firefox (without any add-on)

example site with few movies (open in new tab) :
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.channel&vanity=461286825
(but the same bug I've met on sevenload.com so I think it's not player error)

If open 6 of those movies on that page in new tabs the menus are indeed slower. 
Internet Explorer has even more problems with 6 tabs; it gets unresponsive.
So I think this is a performance problem.

Sorry, i'm only using Firefox and Chrome 3 (occasionaly) so I don't know how about IE.
There is no way to repair it at the moment?

I see no problem if they are loaded in the background. Do you want to hear them all together?

Comment 7

[Filip Zakrzewski]

No, but I know peoples (sometimes i'm doing it too) who are buffering few movies at the same time (because of slow internet connection)

Example :
I've loaded 1 movie in ~80-90%, then i'm opening new tab with another movie and beginning loading it, then third, and fourth. Sometimes up to 7-9

What is your cpu load when having more then 5 tabs open with Flash movies?

Comment 9

[Filip Zakrzewski]

~50% when I've just opened tabs with flash movies
~50-55% (very rare up to 66%) while I'm loading movies
