Youtube video's in Firefox keep downloading even after i've closed the tab/window.
Basically the problem is that whenever i view a youtube video on Firefox, if I close the window during the loading or try and skip to a different timeframe the segment that was being downloaded at that time is still being downloaded. The only way I can stop the downloading is by killing Firefox via the Task Manager.
I confirmed this by using a bandwidth monitor to constantly check my DL speed and traffic and this problem is definitely triggered when I view Youtube video's, any video for that matter.
I've tried disabling my addons/plugins and stuff and uninstalled/updated Flash but to no avail.
