Problems with the newest version of Flash Player (Freezing)

Hello, I'm having this random freeze whenever I close the tab with a video playing/buffering.

In other words, after closing the tab with the video on there is a brief freeze of the whole browser for couple of seconds and it returns back to normal.

Note that it doesn't crash the browser or flash player, its just a random freeze with no warning messages.

This problem only happens for this site http://www.nicovideo.jp/video_top. It doesn't happen in any other video streaming sites such as youtube.

Its like a Japanese youtube site. You'll need an account to watch an video (you'll need to change the language to English at the bottom if necessary).

Moreover, I've recently encountered this problem after upgrading to newest version of flash player.

Here are my specs:

- Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

- FireFox 19.0.2

- Flash Player plugin 11.6.602.180 (this problem also occurred for one version below this)

- No ActiveX installed since I don't use IE

So overall, it seems that it dosen't pose a lot of problem however its kind of annoying to get these freezes time to time.

Thank you, help would be appreciated it.

    Thanks, I'll see if we can take a look.  Have you seen this occur with any other browser besides Firefox?  Chrome maybe?

    Yes, I've just tried using Chrome and IE with latest Flash player activeX version and it had the same problems as well.

    This FAQ describes the process of reverting back to previous versions of FLash Player.  While we recommend using the latest available (either 11.7 or 10.3), the FAQ also has a link to our archive page where you can download a large number of previously released versions going back to 10.1/9.0.

    How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?


    It can be helpful for English native speakers who has at least office PC management skills. Who knows how many the users over the Internet, but less than 50%. Automatic downgrade options can be really helpful for such kind of users.

    Thanks!
