Is everyone with the problem running Windows 7? And if you want a few minutes after this starts happening, do you get a message about Flash crashing?

I use Windows 7. I get a message that adobe flash has crashed (before that, I see the flash player plugin process consuming an increasingly large amount of memory)

The problem is apparently known to the Mozilla developers: http://support.mozil...gin-has-crashed

The "solutions" they suggest are kind of schizophrenic: either update Flash Player or downgrade it. :(

In any case, it doesn't seem specific to BBO, and there's no indication that there's anything we can do about it. My recommendation: use a different browser to access BBO (a problem with Flash in Safari a few years ago is one of the reasons I switched to Chrome).
