Firefox and youtube - adobe flash slowness
Recently youtube is so slow using the adobe flash. (i mean not the html5, as with html5 everything is fine). I have latest firefox 29.0.1 with latest adobe flash player. When i try to use the volume meter or pause-start the videos, it is laggy.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for updates for your graphics drive drivers

- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

I have uninstalled adobe flash recently. When I need it, I start Google Chrome or Opera.
Youtube works perfectly without flash.

Ok, disabled the protected mode in adobe flash did the trick for me. Hope they fix that in their new version.
