Flash Video playback problem on Win7

I'm having video playback issues with Adobe Flash player on Firefox. The video blinks (flashes a blank screen every 2-3 frames) and displays random mpeg artifacts.

Here is the link to the video; http://www.netd.com/canli-yayin/kanal-d

Same video plays fine with IE and Chrome on the same system. I'm running Firefox 40.0.3 with Adobe Flash Player v18.0.0.232 on Windows 7 UE x64 SP1.
