Firefox 14 and Nightly 17 lose focus on Flash controls and Help window. Must move to other window and back to regain control

I am using Nightly 17 and FIrefox 14, and for about a week now they began acting weird.

First, I noticed that whenever watching a video on YouTube the video controls would become un-clickable. Couldn't click on play/pause, volume, etc. Then I noticed that even the Help window couldn't be closed.

The only work around I found is to focus on another window and then back on to Firefox to regain control. But the problem happens over and over again, such as when moving between tabs.

I recorded a video of the situation and posted it here on this link

I tried adding some comments on the video, but I simply can't click on the controls for this in YouTube!

I did some research and found that people are having problems with Adobe Flash 11.something. But that's not my case: I am using Adobe Flash 10.3


My system:

Windows XP SP3 Firefox 14 / Nightly 17 Adobe Flash 10.3.183.20

I also have Internet Explorer 7 and the same Adobe Flash version, and that works fine.

I didn't change Adobe Flash to a new version. It's still version 10.3.

But I'm pretty sure Firefox and Nightly got auto-updated, so maybe there lies the cause of this problem.

I had already tried Adobe Flash 11 but went back to 10 due to performance issues and bugs.

Any luck with disabling hardware acceleration in Flash?

I though I had replied to this yesterday...

Anyway,

The Flash help page helped me find out that the problem only happens with the non-HTML5 versions of the YouTube sites.

Disabling hardware accelerations, etc, made no difference. I even removed Flash completely (by using the official uninstall tool), and re-installed it (same version), but no joy.

I'm surprised that I didn't touch Flash, no updates, nothing, and the problems just started once Firefox was updated to 14. And Nightly was probably auto-updated.

I just removed Flash again completely and installed the latest version (11-something), and will do the tests again. Let's see.

Yes, well.... updated to the latest version of Flash, 11.3.300.270, and now it seems OK.

Strange. It all worked fine. I had moved back to Flash 10 due to problems, didn't change anything, and it broke. And now 11 works.

Whatever.
