To disable hardware acceleration: Start a flashgame/stream/whatever and rightclick, under one of the tabs (furthest to the left I think) you have a option "Enable hardware acceleration" try that and see if it helps you with your problem. | ||

The problem with FF right now is that everything is handled within one process, so you have a lot more strain on a CPU core that cannot handle all of the memory that the one FF process needs. | ||

When I tried it a month or two ago Chrome handled flash applications worse than any other browser. Not sure they've fixed that or not. In any case, Flash is very demanding and if you don't have a really fast CPU the slowness will be noticeable in any browser (but both IE and Opera consumes less CPU with flash for me than Firefox). | ||

EDIT: When I run all of that PLUS Firefox with Roffles stream (so I have both Chrome and FF running Roffles stream) my CPU Usage is in between 25% and 50% and I have the latest FF. | ||

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

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. | ||

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 : / | ||

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. | ||

Lately FF has been handling streams like Day[9]'s okay, though when he enables the chat for questions it lags a bit. I haven't changed anything, so I don't know what's up, but I still hover around 50% CPU. :\ | ||

Gonna try it out (as for me too FF is often slow when viewing flash). Edit: Updating flash to 10.0 r42 and FF to 3.6 seems to have solved the flash slowdown problem. CPU usage dropped from 50% to 15%. | ||

So given that it should be obvious why flash causes such huge spikes, no? | ||

At home I think the lag is attributed to my ISP/bandwidth though. I often just DL videos from youtube and watch in VLC later. ALso, Firefox has gotten laggier and laggier for like every update. It's unavoidable though. | ||

We'll I only have a 5mb connection. It used to be fine for streams mths ago but something has changed. Nothing physically with the connection, only i've rebuilt the machine and been looking at it as a software issue. Sometimes it runs perfectly which is really odd. I'll just start watching vods I guess. | ||
