Similar to bug 591687, but this is Linux-specific....

Async layers landed on Linux in b7, so this should be retested with b7. If there is still a noticeable problem, we'll need profiles. (And it would be good to know exactly what site you see this with, because there are huge variations depending on windowless/windowed configuration and whether the plugin claims to be transparent.
pick any youtube video, and start it fullscreen. In minefield, for me, it is at least twice as jerky.
I have also had problems with games not loading/loading slowly. (most online flash games)
Not blocking unless someone can confirm this, if so, please renominate.

I'm not reproducing an difference.
And a difference would be hard to explain because Firefox is almost uninvolved with fullscreen flash video.

Are you sure the same Flash Player is used in each situation?
(Check about:plugins.)
Does disabling compositing change things?
