Using newest version of firefox and flash player on certain sites loading a flash video will cause lock ups of the browser. Flash will then crash after a few minutes and the loop starts over. Killing plugin container speeds this process along but makes it impossible to watch flash videos in firefox. Attempted clean install of firefox with no success. Same with flash player. how can i fix this?

disabling hardware acceleration does not seem to stick nor work either. windows 7 x64 pro.
