I have a 64 bit pc but Flash player and plugin container seem to be 32 bit. Is this relevant ?

The CPU goes up to 60% for just these two processes within about 3 minutes of streaming some videos. The system effectively dies until I end one of the processes with task manager.

An example of a video which displays this issue is http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/8/31/the-mini-0801-tiny-1080p-gps-car-camera-with-an-lcd-screen.html

Firefox plays the BBC Iplayer videos with no problems but files like the Techmoan above make the CPU go wild and stop the PC within about 3 minutes.

Opera 20 plays the Techmoan video all the way through with no problems.

This points to the problem being in Firefox.

I think that I have the latest Adobe Flash player and the latest Firefox.

Hey,

Please try to disable hardware acceleration.Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

  1. Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
  2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
  3. Click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
  4. Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.

    The image "fpSettings1.PNG" does not exist.
  5. Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
  6. Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
  7. Restart Firefox.

This Flash Player Help - Display Settings page has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Sorry, the disabling of the hardware acceleration made no difference.

Upgraded to the latest Flash player 12-0-0-77 before testing the acceleration disable.

Given that Opera plays the video without problems, is the problem in Firefox itself?

Suggestions welcome.
