Most times when a flasvideo is running, the whole computer stopped then. Sometimes it is possible to switch to a console, there after 10 minutes for login (its really that slow) TOP shows that firefox and a plugin-container process eat all ram and then all swap. After 15min or else a dialog "jscript hanging" appears on the desktop, when stopped the memory comes back. Firefox turns to normal operation until next hang.
