After I watch about two hours Youtube video for a period of time using Firefox, it stops buffering. I have to reload the page to continue watching and then it stops buffering again. I found that there is no problem using IE. Is there something wrong with Firefox?

P/S: I'm using the latest version of Firefox and Flash.
