I worked around this issue by adding query string ?wmode=opaque to the end of the URL in the iframe'd YouTube video. This will solve it for end-users whereas the workaround of disabling HWA cannot be done on the users behalf (obviously). Hope this helps

Uninstall Flash versions with the Uninstaller: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flas ... _64bit.exe
Then install Flash 11.2: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/fl ... _32bit.exe (it's the 32-bit version because FF is 32-bit app)
(disable autoupdate after the install, the Flash setup will ask you)


I was having the exact same problem with the current latest build of Firefox(14.0.1) and Flash (Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.265). The above instructions solved the issue.

Thank you.

With latest Flash 11.4 it got even worse, to the point, that I can't do scroll on youtube page while video is playing, it freezes whole browser. The thumbnails that popup when cursor moved over timeline are being delayed badly.
Recorded a video so you can see what I mean:

Downgrading to 11.2 seems to solve the problem.

Note, this only happens with Firefox (tested on version 12 through 18.0a1) all other browsers seems to be not affected.
