flash plugin 100% CPU usage

[digid]

Hi all,

Any help on the issue below will be greatly appreciated:

Does anyone found any solution for the increased CPU consumption when flash is used with Firefox? I have tried re-install the plugin but no help!!! Any suggestions?

Is it every site or only certain sites that you get this?
I have found some sites have badly witten flash and it hangs firefox. When I restart firefox and go back to the site, it's fine.
Flash on linux is pretty buggy at the best of times.

The problem is there every time a flash application is required. I cannot properly view youtube videos or any other multimedia that requires flash. I suspect this might be an update problem since the system used to work fine out of the box after the initial installation of the flash plugin

What version of (open)SUSE are you using?
I haven't generally have a problem with suse and flash.

What version of 11.3 32 or 64 bit.

If 64 bit, try adding the 32 bit compatibility in yast2>software
