Can't scroll on page after interacting with Youtube videos

After upgrading to the newest version of Firefox, I noticed issues with page scrolling and Youtube videos (both embedded and on the main Youtube site).

In the past, after watching a video, I would just click somewhere on the page that wasn't the video and would be able to scroll. Now I have to switch to a different tab and then back in order to do so.

I'm not sure if this is a quirk or if there's some setting I can change.

This can be a consequence of running the Flash player in a protected sandbox environment
