Hi, I've been having this issue on youtube when I hit the back button the audio from the video keeps playing, I've also noticed that it only seems to happen when the comment section gets stuck loading which is frequent even though I have a fast internet connection.

That can happen if there is a communication problem between Firefox and the plugin-container process.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

I have the same problem. I doubt it's due to FlashPlayer, because problem occurs when I'm using Youtube HTML5 player. Audio keeps playing also when I click Youtube logo when I want to go to the main page.
