When I play youtube videos, if I go to pause it, it doesn't register, so I click it again, then it register's but because I pushed it twice it doesn't pause. Chrome does not have this issue. There is a 3-15 second delay every time I pause or play a video. The length of delay varies from time to time. How can I fix this?

thanks, this was able to help me. The solution was to turn off hardware acceleration on the flash page. Thanks so much.
