In firefox i am having this issue. firefox starts downloading videos automatically from facebook wall, and when i play some video its already partially downloaded. This effects performance when it is downloading multiple videos in the background. it crashes mostly and slows down the internet for me. How can i stop this, so it downloads only when i play them. I have windows 8, firefox latest.

This is not a cure, but should let the web page load without crashing.

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
