I get the same problem with this version of flash as well, but only when
I'm listening to music (via BBC Radio 1 streaming, for example). So it
appears to be a problem with opening flash content in Firefox, when the
audio system is busy. I think I've definitely read a bug report about
this elsewhere, so this can probably be considered a duplicate of that
bug report.
