Is it a flash issue?  In other words is it just pages containing flash
that give the problem?  If you think it may be then install the
flashblock addin to firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Get Addons and search
for flashblock), which will prevent it automatically showing the
flash, and that will prove whether that is the issue.  If so then we
can determine a solution.
