Youtube videos freeze in Firefox while running Java Applications.

[elimin8]

Please pardon my informal and probably very lacking report of this bug, im rather new to the linux community. Recently I have installed Ubuntu on my machine (I have prior experience with DSL, Knoppix,Slax,Opensuse,Fedora and a few other distributions. I found the install quite easy and the add/remove applciation utility to be exceptional. To date I only have minor issues. I tried to install the 64 bit version but due to the lack of sun support for 64 bit ubuntu I opted to return to 32 bit.

The issue:

I run various Java based applications, Wurm online to name a specific one. (a java based mmorpg)

While running this application I have noticed I am unable to run Youtube or Hulu based videos for longer than perhaps 5 seconds time, at which point the stop playing, there is no indication of a crash but the video is freezeing. The fault is duplicateable.

I have the most recent Sun package installed, I am using the 177 Nvidia driver package for video processing (I have no dedicated video card, just the onboard video processor.) The tower is a Compaq 1.9gb amd64 x2 Duel core processor 4000+.

The release is : Ubuntu 8.10 release 8.10
(Had difficulties aquiring the Java Version and Flash Version but i believe java is 1.5.0, flash was installed from the website.) I used the ubuntu restricted package.

If I can be of further help on what information to report please notify me. And if you would mind, if the reporting requires specific commands please include them also.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest versions of Firefox, Flash, and Java? Thanks in advance.
