This question already has an answer here:
Pages like this that have many embedded videos, freeze Ubuntu for a long time, then Flash crashes.
Is this just a Ubuntu 64-bit problem? Do I need more than my current 2gb ram? http://www.deanstalk.net/deanstalk/video/
I'm surprised that it can completely freeze up Firefox, since Firefox uses a separate process for plugins? Should this be reported as a bug, in Firefox, or Ubuntu?
