    My FF recently has been acting up, and every time I view a flash movie (youtube, armorgames, etc.) the CPU usage just shoots up to 50-60%. Regular youtube videos are still watchable, but HD ones are not. They lag like crazy, and flash games lag too. My FF never did this before, so I don't get why it would start now, I don't think I installed anything new... Anyone know the solution to this?

    Multiple posting is against the forum rules. Continuing to do this could very well lead to an infraction. Thread closed.
