I use FF 3.6.6 with Flash 10,1,53,64.
On many flash sites (e.g. http://www.myspace.com/frankzappa) FF freezes.
It works with Youtube flash videos with the same FF, and the same MySpace sites works with Opera, too.

The same problem with 3.6.4 (similar stack trace).
Back to 3.5.10 everything works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the given URL
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
FF freezes!
The freeze happens while starting the flash applet and FF refuses to respond till killing it.

Expected Results:  
Hear good music

The stack of the freezing thread is always:
xul.dll!gfxASurface::SetSurfaceWrapper+0x115e
xul.dll!gfxContext::DeviceToUser+0xb86
MOZCRT19.dll!endthreadex+0x78

The issue is only reproducible with the addon FireTorrent 2.0.1.
So it seems to be a problem of FireTorrent, but FF shouldn't freeze.

r.s.t, if this is caused by firetorrent, they need to fix that. Please report to Firefox torrent.
