Just an FYI, if anyone else here experiencing the halting Adobe Flash
videos problem with Mozilla Firefox, this is due to a few default
settings in Mozilla Firefox being set incorrectly.

This is for the Mozilla Firefox versions 41.0.1 and 41.0.2 with Adobe Flash
for Linux versions 11,2,202,521 and 11,2,202,540.  These are the current
versions.  This didn't seem to be an issue with Mozilla Firefox 31 or 33.

Enter about:config in the URL bar and make sure the settings below are
correct.  'true' is the default for each.  media.wemb.enabled set to 'false'
forces Adobe Flash and must be set to 'true' for HTML5.  The setting
layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled when set to 'true', the default,
requires constant mouse movement with Adobe Flash for videos to not halt.
html5.offmainthread when set to 'true', the default, causes odd graphics
rendering glitches with certain websites, probably with HTML5 enabled.

media.webm.enabled  true
layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled  false
html5.offmainthread  false

BTW, if you also have some "pink" floating numbers you can't get rid of
appearing on Mozilla Firefox's menus, this is due to the setting
layers.acceleration.draw-fps which needs to be set to false.

These options may be wrong due to their values being inherited to earlier
Mozilla Firefox installations or being activated upon recommendation of
various webpages on Mozilla Firefox speed up settings.
