Firefox and Flash

Hi,

I have noticed that whenever I do something with a flash animation and
try to browse to another page, it freezes Firefox and the only thing I
can do is to kill it and restart. Anyone else experiencing similar
problems? It was with 1.0.7 and is still there with 1.5. I checked with
a clean profile and the problem still exists. However, I haven't seen it
to occur when I'm using Mozilla!

thanks.
