Flash Fix for Firefox

Sound like a tongue twister? If YouTube and Flash videos stutter when you view them in firefox, but are fine when viewed in IE or Chrome, the issue is not in the video but in the way Firefox handles session restore.

By default Firefox is set to take a "snapshot" of all your open tabs every ten seconds so that if you close your browser you can pick up where you left off when you reopen it. A nice feature but doing so every ten seconds is what causes this video stutter experience. The simpliest solution may seem to be just shutting the restore feature off completely, but consider the fix posted by downloadsquad to lengthen the time between snapshots.

The fix:
In the Firefox toolbar type: about:config
In the filter box type: browser.sessionstore.interval
The default is 10000 miliseconds. If 1 minutes = 60,000 milliseconds, you can up it to 2 minutes (120,000), 3 minutes (180,000) and so on as you see fit but keep the number to one that still makes the session restore useful.
