Bug Description
I first noticed this in the last month or so, on a regularly patched Kubuntu 9.0.4.
After Firefox has been open for a while (a couple of hours?) Flash video playback becomes jittery. The video will freeze, but the audio will generally continue playing.
Playing the same video in Opera, or restarting Firefox and playing the same video, is guaranteed to smooth the video playback. Trying to restart the video or waiting for the video to be fully buffered, without starting Firefox, does not help.
It's not a networking issue - I can generally see that the Flash player has plenty of video buffered ahead of the playback position.

There was no need to open this since flash has nothing to do with firefox and the one you added was for upstream bug info.
