Has anything changed recently?

I reported a while ago that something made this bug happen much more
common for me.

Now, as of today, it's even worse, as EVERY flash video with sound
freezes Firefox beyond control. 64-bit here.

Provided that we can backport/SRU the necessary packages for Hardy, and Flash 10 final comes soon, this bug is now completely fixable.
