Firefox bloats Flashplayer and CPU
After watching some flash videos, the flash application will bloat to 2gb in memory usage and Firefox will bloat to 1gb in memory usage.
At such time the video becomes choppy and many sites such as news sites with embedded video hang altogether. the only solution is to kill the Firefox application and start again.
Using Firefox v30 but this is becoming unbearable. i will have to stop using Firefox if this is not fixed.

HI infin, Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that the flash player is upping the memory usage in Firefox. Please try:
- Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
- What is plugin-container - this will have steps to help improve performance.
If you have any other questions, please post back with the results, it will help other users.
