Firefox and Shockwaveflash 14.0.0.145 together using 100% CPU
Firefox (v30.0) normaly uses 2-6 % CPU. When I start a video using shockwave flash 14.0.0.145, firefox is using 20-40 % CPU and shockwave 50-80%. Mostly resulting in a total CPU usage of 100%. This problem occurs since a week or two. I am running Microsoft Vista.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration - disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
