Adobe Flash videos (YouTube etc.) stutter and freeze for a half of a second every now and then. This didn't happen when the cache was saved to my disk.

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

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

I'm not sure if it was some performance registry tweaks I did or the update itself. Although it is solved now.

I set browser.cache.memory.enable to false. This was probably the real fix for the issue.  :D
