Several things that I tried, without success: 
- build a kernel which uses the bfs scheduler instead of the standard linux 
scheduler
result: slightly less flickering - but still unacceptable. Overall performance 
was worse.

- use of vanilla build of firefox 3.5.7 instead of the package provided by 
Ubuntu
result: no change, issue persists

- use of vanilla build of the Adobe Flash plugin instead of the package 
provided by Ubuntu
result: no change, issue persists

Conclusion: At least on my compute the issue is not due to changes on Firefox 
or Adobe Flash plugin that have been introduced by Ubuntu.  Of course it could 
be a bug that has been introduced upstream.
Has anybody tried if the problem can be reproduced when using an older (e.g. 
from Ubuntu 9.04)  kernel/driver stack inside Ubuntu 9.10?
