As I said,
Roger, not everyone has this problem. I have had this same problem on
this particular hardware combination from at least FC7 onwards. I'm
guessing it may be a problem with interaction with the proprietary
nvidia driver and Firefox? I have a 6200 nvidia card. I also had the
same issue with FC11 on an IBM/Lenovo laptop I had; I think that
machine had integrated Intel video. My brother in law has a box
running FC10 with an ATi 7500 and he DOESN'T have this problem at all.

Thanks for the post, but I guess I didn't make it clear: this is a well known problem with using Firefox and Flash. It's definitely not a problem with Firefox being big or using a lot of RAM. Not everyone has this problem, but there are lots of filed bugs with both Mozilla and Adobe about it. And every time I've asked about it, I've been told that it's a Flash problem, not a Firefox problem, and I just don't think that's true. HughThis Firefox / Flash problem has me curious. I've never had a problem with flash in firefox, except for being not easy to install. But that's a security issue I believe. But once up and running I have never had difficulties you write about. I've had to install the combination probably 30 times over the past few years on several computers. I have used F3 right through to F12 on fairly standard clones.
