Text stops typing on Flash websites.
Like youtube. I go there and if I hit pause for the video playing I can't type in the text field unless I reload the page. Why? Why are the last few versions of Firefox so crappy? Just change the name to DesertTurtle because that's about as good performance I get now.

There is a problem with YouTube videos keeping control of the keyboard and not letting you click outside the Flash plugin to regain control. I haven't seen anyone post a solution to this annoying problem yet.
Other workarounds that are faster than reloading the page:
(1) Full screen the video and then switch back
press f then Esc - focus will move back to the page
(2) Switch to another applicaiton window and then back
press Alt+tab then Alt+tab - focus will move back to the page
(3) Click on a different tab then click back - focus will move back to the page
Yeah, but as opposed to Mozilla getting their act together? It works fine on Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari, why not on Firefox?

I didn't say that, and I would like to see it fixed.
