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)

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
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

I had a similar issue until I removed the cache viewer addon.
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.

same problem for live streams, sometimes when one of the cores max out its cpu usage the video lags a lot. It's even worse if I fullscreen it.

Although the new players on livestream.com seems to do a lot better. (than the ones tl embeds)

i've had a similar problem, uninstalled every add-ons, reinstallad FF, used a beta...
nothing worked, sadly seemed only IE could run flash correctly
finally (after a couple of months), on other purposes, i reinstalled my ATI graphics drivers and Flash started working correctly on FF

Definetly have this problem. Firefox also tends to crash regularly when having flash open and switching to 640*480 resolution.
this game is a fucking jokie

Firefox tends to use a lot more cpu than I would like. Try using another browser for flash-related stuff?

Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration for flash? My CPU used to go fucking nuts when I played flash (aka firefox taking up ALOT of CPU).

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.
