I am 99% certain Flash is responsible for the times Firefox simply 
"refuses" to shut down, and its tendency to, if left Firefox is left 
open, to degrade the performance of the entire damn machine, over time, 
after playing a fairly small number of videos, on my Windows system too. 
Firefox hasn't done it "quite" so much since a new patch to fix a known 
issue *with* using Flash got fixed, but it still turns into a dog if you 
use Flash videos too much...
