The bug seemed to disappear (or at least manifest far less often) when
I switched from 32-bit Feisty to AMD64 Gutsy. Maybe the bit of
indirection created when 64-bit Firefox has to use the plugin wrapper
to handle the still 32-bit Flash plugin makes the bug stop

Hello.
I get the same behavior as described by others in this thread. Firefox
will hang and requires me to forcibly kill it.
For me this most often happens when switching from one video to another.
But, as others have pointed out, there is also a random component to it,
making it hard to predict
I'm now sure that it referrs to the used kernel. Even if I use a
