Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, www.hulu.com has severe graphical
artifacting in Firefox. The artifacting affects areas of the page
controlled by the Flash plugin. Basically various areas within the Flash
content are randomly obscured by dark grey rectangles, which have the
same colour as the background. I've attached an example screenshot
showing a common case where the episode description text is obscured by
an artifact (circled in red). Other areas that are often affected
include the left and right buttons at the edge of the screen and the
horizontal row of show selection radio buttons right below the show
screenshot.

The problem does not happen in Chrome.
