Same problem with FF3.6

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

See:

Flash "Display settings" window:


Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I've tried several settings combinations, to no avail. In particular, Flash hardware acceleration setting has no effect.

Starting in safe mode disables Flash, hardly a good idea here. As I said before, I tried disabling everything except Flash, and that didn't work.
