[Bug 400708] [NEW] Flash videos freeze Firefox

[David Harmon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Using FF 3.0.11 under Ubuntu 8.10, trying to play a flash video freezes
Firefox -- all windows become unresponsive, and stop refreshing.

Note that FF3.5 hasn't gotten into the Ubuntu repositories yet,
apparently with some reason (besides the security bug, a lot of plugins
don't support it.)
