Since I have the last Firefox 15 update, I noticed Firefox keeps on downloading the video on YouTube after I close the video page or when I go back to previous page and this until the video is over. This did not used to happen with Firefox 14, so I installed Firefox 14 until this problem is fixed.

The Shockwave and Java applications may need 'PLUGIN UPDATE' for newer versions. Suggest a check for any outdated PLUGIN UPDATE found from the Mozilla Firefox Toolbar 'Help' Menu > 'Firefox Help' > [lower right margin displays link to more info to review and 'UPDATE PLUGIN's!

Both plugins are the latest: Shockwave and Java.
