Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
It appears an add-on was the culprit here, namely, OpenH264. Once I disabled it, the video problems went away. This was not an add-on I introduced to my browser, it comes, evidently, with V34 &V35.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for updates for your graphics drive drivers

- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
