EPTThis 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.

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 : / | ||

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. | ||

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.

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

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? | ||

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. | ||
