Hi,

firefox extensions are the cause for the majority of bugs reported against firefox.

To check that the bug you are seeing is actually a firefox one (and not an extension one), please disable your extensions one-by-one (restart firefox in between) until there is either no enabled extension left or your problem is resolved.

Please report your findings back.

Thanks,
 - Alexander

Hi Alexander,
thank you for yor reply.
Effectively the problem is due to adobe flash player plugin (the more flash animation in the page the more you notice the problem). I have tried the other flash plugins (Swfdec and Gnash) but they dont work even in youtube.

How can we fix this problem? Flash support is too much important nowadays, its very important for ubuntu to work well with this!

Thanks,
Michele
