The flash in this page continues to play after closing the tab. This is the bug 531514. However, in my case it continues to play after I restart firefox. Furthermore, the playback is not consistent- it's cut off and sounds like something is getting overwritten into its buffer as it gets played. I had to disable the shockwave flash plugin to continue using firefox. It might be a good idea to create a separate process for flash plugin, so that it can be killed separately without closing firefox.

Is this an issue in Firefox's safe mode or a new profile as explained in https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+troubleshooting ?
Firefox 3.6.4 will have separate processes for each plugin.

Neither. I restarted firefox, but the sound (of the video) was still playing on from the previous session (little creepy), although there was no video being played anywhere. I guess it's just that the flash plugin was active. I had to disable flash plugin and enable it again to stop that sound. Thanks for the info on 3.6.4. That's just what I've been looking for.

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 4 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Also, ensure you have the most up to date graphics drivers, operating system updates, and plugin versions (flash, java, etc). If you continue to see this issue with the newest Firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.
