I had a VERY choppy flash player no matter what I used, about a month ago. Tried with both Firefox and Chrome, when the FF flash player would like freeze for some milliseconds every once in a while. The chrome one just majorly slowed down at parts.

This was totally fixed when I formatted my computer. Not sure if it's the formatting, or the Windows Vista -> Windows 7 upgrade that did it, but it's smooth as silk now.
Gravity is just a theory anyway.

Okay, so I've googled around a bit and haven't been able to resolve this issue. Basically, whenever I'm running anything flash based from FF (i.e. livestream or youtube) the cpu usage of firefox hits 30-40% and generally makes everything slower.

Anyone encountered anything similar? Anyone got any solutions? (other than restarting ff)


been having same issue as well, same thing happened when i'm watching yotube HD videos, strangely enough it only happened recently like a month back when i noticed the cooling fans on my lappy going ape-shit, firefox is at the latest version 3.5...

hopefully some one that knows whats up could gives us a tip here : /

Which version of Firefox are you two using? I had this problem in 3.0 a lot (Firefox majorly memory leaking with YouTube tabs open), but I haven't had the problem since 3.5

Yeah, I actually had to switch to Opera after 3.0 because FF was just too infuriating to use then but ever since I updated FF recently, I haven't had this problem.

I was waiting for a comment along those lines . . . but you guys need to be more creative! Come on, this thread is practically BEGGING for a clever and well thought-out Flash pun.

According to an interview he did a while back, Flash is actually pretty slow at most computer related activities. He barely uses the net, doesn't IM etc.

Vista to 7 also did this for me. CPU went from 44 in FF to about 3.

Your firefox is the sole reason Flash did not move out until 25 minutes later in the first game.

If u still have problems
have u tried disableing the browser.cache.memory.enable ?

In
about:config
Filter for "cache" and find
browser.cache.memory.enable
set to false

You probably want to restart FF afterwards.


Also somone told me to be sure your useraccount have full security access to the Flash files in: "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash" will help

What FlashPlayer version do u use?

My FF is flat out freezing when i try to load flash-intensive pages. Everything else works totally fine, but right now i cant load the youtube homepage, for example. I assume theres one of those annoying massive video ads that play without asking for permission.

I never watch HD youtube.. I don't have a use for it. Opera is maxing out around 60% cpu usage rofl =/

I don't know if its a gfx card issue - it's certainly a possibility.

Opera, chrome, FF, etc will use alot of cpu; the only flash that doesn't use alot of cpu is the active x InternetExplorer flash; the plug-in is not cpu friendly. I was hoping riches suggestion would pan out for you as that would be the easiest solution. I'm assuming the problem arises when you put the flash player to full screen and then it wants to set your computer on fire.

I would try using flash 10.1 beta 2 just to see if anything pans out, nothing quite like toubleshooting.
I don't use AIM/MSN/ etc stop asking...

Are you guys having stuttering issues too in flash videos? I only have it in Firefox, not Chrome or Opera. I dont even know why im using firefox really, i guess its just because im so used to it i cant switch. Its a fucking memory hog too.
