I have been having issues playing Flash videos in the current version of Firefox (10.0) as well as the previous version (unknown) over the past few months.

When I open a page with a video it will begin playing with an echo as if two videos are playing at the same time with a slight delay on the second video causing an audio echo effect. So basically one video with echoing audio. The websites that I experience this the most are yahoo sports (happens practically every time) and gamespot (happens occasionally). If I refresh the page the echoing effect goes away.

I am running Windows 7 64-bit. I have updated video drivers on my ATI Radeon HD 5800 series. My flash player / shockwave is 11,1,102,55 (updated) but I know I have experienced the same problem with previous versions.

I have the following plug-ins enabled: 1. Adobe Acrobat 10.1.2.45 2. Current version of Ad-Block 3. Divx Plus Web Player 2.2.0.52 4. Divx VOD Helper Plug-In 1.1.0.6 5. Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plug-In 1.0.0.8 6. Quicktime Plug-In 7.7.1 / 7.7.1.0 7. Real Player 32 Bit Plug-Ins (4 total plug ins) 15.0.0.198 8. Veetle Plug-Ins (3 total plug ins) 0.9.17.0

I have some others as well but I thought these were the only relevant ones.

Can anyone help me with my problem?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
