[Bug 1071120] [NEW] Flash Content Causes Excessive CPU Load

[Ron Adams]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu  12.10, Firefox 16.0.1+build1-0ubuntu1, ubuntu-restricted-extras
57.

I'm filing this against Ubuntu's firefox package because I cannot
reproduce it in other Firefox builds (I have not tried from source in
Ubuntu yet). Furthermore, chromium-browser does not experience this
issue.

On both my Asus G71GX and HP Mini 1010NR, Firefox consumes 70-100+% CPU
load (as seen from top) when flash content is displayed. I have Flash
installed via ubuntu-restricted-extras. Please let me know what other
details I can provide.
