But I also am now seeing a problem that was not showing up before, similar to one I've had with SeaMonkey for a long time. After some period of time, all of my Firefox windows stop showing flash videos properly and I get long periods of silence interpsersed with bursts of high-speed sound (noise, actually), or the video just stops a few seconds in. I don't think this is a CentOS problem per se, and I have posted about it here before, just usually in reference to SM, not FF.
I've had problems of this sort with the mplayerplug-in occasionally. In my case it usually means something has grabbed the sound device and then gotten stuck -- I often have to quit and restart firefox and/or use "ps" from a shell to find and kill off a rogue mplayer.
