Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a new Tab
2) Go to a website with flash content (in this case youtube.com)
3) Selected the flash content by clicking on it (in this case click on play)
4) While the content plays, pres Ctrl-w to close the tab

Result: The tab does not close
Expectation: The tab should close

A good way of knowing that selecting the flash content is what is causing this bug is if you select a part of the page that is not flash content (in this case empty white space at the right or the left of the video) followed by Ctrl-W, the tab closes.
