The only way this will be solved is if Google (YouTube) decided to move to something else or threatened to do it. Adobe doesn't seem to care - this problem has been around a long time.
Not that divx is much better - I get 70% cpu if running divx inside firefox, but if I get the exact same video and run it outside the browser in VLC, it only takes 40%. So I can't tell if it is because of the browser or the add-on. I am going to try the same experiment with flv (flash) files.

But it has become impossible to watch videos. Some can be downloaded and watched in a separate player but not all.
I like Leo Laporte live video, but I can't watch it anymore (since last Thursday), because it takes 100% cpu, gets stuck, jumps etc.

It started for me 3 days ago. Why now, what has changed ?
It was just after the big Tuesday updates from Microsoft, which included .Net update, but I don't see how this is relevant.
I can't watch youtube, I can't watch most video sites.
I'm mad.
And you should see the Firefox support site - most people are blaming Mozilla :-<<

Perhaps someone can tell us exactly how witty comments we have to make before we get approved. And what exactly is witty enough ?

Am I ever going to get an answer ?
Just say if you know that there's a problem, otherwise I have no way of knowing if anybody is even aware of this.
Maybe it is just me, maybe it is a problem for all new users.
Say something.... anything....
