For some reason flashplayer (npviewer.bin) has slowed down considerably in Firefox. I get maybe 5fps in Youtube and CPU usage of npviewer.bin hovers around 90%. However if I am in Firefox's private browsing session, everything is fine, CPU usage is normal and the frame rate is as it was.
I tried disabling all my addons but that didn't help. Why the massive difference in performance between the two environments?

Ok more wierdnesss. It only seems to affect Youtube when watching a video at Youtube.com. Watching an embedded video on another site ran fine...

I can't tell you the exact reason why it's happening, but I can suggest a method to solve it.
Make a backup of your FF configs, and then delete the whole FF folder from ~/.
The simplest way to do both things is just to rename it.
PS.
the problem seems to be AdBlock/FlashBlock related…

I disabled both and videos from YT are still slow...

For me some videos on YouTube aren't working anymore. All other flashcontent is working fine. I also opened a thread a few minutes ago. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=114481

Has YT updated their onsite Flash player? Perhaps it does not play well with Flash on Linux...

I've noticed problems with YouTube videos for a few days. Videos are stuttering, stopping and disappearing (just showing a gray box where the player should be).

Yeah that gray box thing is definitely happening to me as well.

I clicked 'pop-out' in YT so the video runs by itself in it's own window/tab and it's smooth as silk... wierd.

I noticed another thing - if you start a video and then open another video in a tab the first video stops and jumps between two frame (but the audio keeps playing and you can pause/resume it by clicking on it).

Although it's more of a workaround rather than a solution, I suggest using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo … oreplacer/
which allows you to watch youtube and some other sites in your native video player instead of flash player.
