Firefox stops processing data, downloading, and/or playing videos when mouse stops moving. If I click outside Firefox window, it resumes, or I have to keep moving my mouse.

I reloaded Firefox and Flash, to no avail. Internet Explore works OK.

your best option is probably to downgrade to firefox 24 at the moment until the issue gets resolved.

Install an older version of Firefox
