This excessive Firefox CPU usage when embedded flash movies are in a web
page is becoming really annoying. By searching the web I see that I'm not
the only one having this problem. However, I found no solutions.

When comparing any page with which I have this problem in Firefox by opening
the page in IE, Opera and Firefox, Firefox always consumes by far most CPU.

But what bugs me the most is that when this happens, I CANNOT CHANGE TABS by
clicking on them. The mouse clicks are simply ignored. To change tabs I have
to use CTRL+TAB.

This problem is most apparent when several embedded Flash movies from
YouTube are in a webpage. If more than one are playing, the tab click
problem appears.

Can the Flash plug-in somehow be set to lower priority than the process that
loads it (firefox)?

To filter out the possible suggestions that might also annoy the hell out of
me, here's a couple of statements:

Yes, my PC is the pinnacle of modern technology. It runs everything *really*
fast. I'm using Windows XP SP3 which has maintenance done regularly, every
month. I'm no Joe user either.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Vedran
