Firefox hangs in pages with many Youtube frames

[Danilo]

Hy.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-14-generic, 1Gb of memory, Intel celeron CPU 2.80 Ghz and an old nVidia video card.

With Firefox, either 3.0 (default) or 3.6 beta, when I visit a page with a lot of Youtube frames embedded (as, in example www.saynotocrack.com or www.neatorama.com), Firefox hangs and / or slows down with weird visual effects as you can see in attachment. Also, starting a video it glitch (goes and stop loosing synchronism with the audio). Sometimes I need to kill the Firefox instance...

Visiting a page with a single video embedded (i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlCX02Dc31Y) all goes right, video runs and sounds fluently without problem.

I have Shockwave Flash plugin installed (file: libflashplayer.so Version: 10.0 r22) and no alternative flash plugins replacements on my system.

I have set flash for using hardware acceleration (but even without it the problem persists) and I have set it for using 10 Mb of local cache.

Step for reproduce it:
- goto www.saynotocrack.com or www.neatorama.com or to a site with a lot of Youtube video embedded in a single page
- scroll down and up the page, all goes slow or hangs
- start a video, poor synchronism

What I expected to happen:
- All goes fluently

Thanks for your attention.

EDIT:
I have tried to disable all desktop effects, close all unnecessary applications, start Firefox in safemode, but nothing is changed.

Anybody has my same problem?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, according to this report, you are not using the most recent version of Flash and Firefox for your Ubuntu release.

In my comment #4 I have tell that the problem still persist and that my system is up to date (as far I know). I never tell that my problem is fixed. I will switch to another OS, so I am not interested to find the way to resolve it.

Please, read and understand my post #4.

its not really firefox, but adobe flash that is causing issues here. Unfortunately, there is no way to check what could help as adobe flash is a close source application.
