Opening pages with video hangs and generates plugin container error in 3.6.8

more options

I just updated to 3.6.8 and can no longer open a webpage with video. Firefox hangs, does not crash. When I "end process", I receive an error message about the plug-in container. I was already running an earlier version of 3.6 so "out of process" defaults had not been causing a similar problem in the past. Flash player and Quicktime plugins are up-to-date. System information is Windows Vista Business
