FlashPlayer Freezes firefox randomly

[Sook]

Ok - Running Hardy Heron 64bit

Using FireFox 3.0b5

Running flash 9.0.124.0ubuntu2

Ok.. the problem is this... Will be watching youtube or other various sites that use flash video,
and firefox will sometimes Gray out, becoming unsable (basically stalls) - only way to fix it is to
open terminal and kill "2:31 /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin" then it works again.
The problem also happens more often when trying to use a flash-site to order a pizza online
(not cool) - have tried the various methods of install flash etc.. from ubuntu forums etc..

Anyone had this problem or got any ideas on howto fix it ?

Yes, I have had the same problem ever since upgrading from 7.10. I have found no way to alleviate the problem expect to shutdown the browser and open it back up again. It's a real pain and my only real gripe with the new version of Ubuntu. Hope we can find a solution to this soon...
