I have a message to Mozilla. Can you please fix the buffering problem with Flash for Firefox 33?
Hello Mozilla. Ever since I upgraded to 32, I had this buffering problem on Flash (especially YouTube videos) where the gray timing bar would stop moving and the video would start buffering. This wasn't fixed for Firefox 32.0.1. Can you please fix all of this?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for 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)
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

cor-el, I downgraded back to Firefox 31 and this problem doesn't happen there. I think you should get Mozilla to fix this problem for Firefox 33. This is the problem I was having with Firefox 32.
