Scrolling lag...

Good afternoon! I've just noticed that when opening a page with a YouTube link on it, such as -

http:// www.the answerb .../Que stion11 47536.h tml
I have to reload the page first as it "hangs", then I get a "lag" when scrolling down/up, screen examples here (I used Snipping Tool) -

The screen resolves if I scroll slowly in the opposite direction, but I've never seen this before.
I'm using Firefox 13.0.1 & it seems to happen on AB pages only. It looks ok with Chrome, but FF is my preferred browser for AB.
I've cleared the cache (that seems to be a cure-all) & disabled all extensions to no avail. If anyone has any ideas for sorting this out, I'd be very grateful. It's not urgent but it is annoying.
As always, thank you for your time & attention.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The next time you find the problem occurring, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to enter the Task Manager. Click on the Processes tab and look down the CPU column. The only high figure should be against System Idle Process but I'd be prepared to bet that either firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe is shown as taking up most of your processing power.
If it's Firefox itself which is causing the problem, try using the Adblok Plus extension (if you've not already got it).
If it's Plugin-container, try (as a temporary measure) closing it via the 'End Process' button, to see if the scrolling problem disappears.
Plugin-container is part of Firefox. It's purpose is to stop the whole of Firefox crashing if a linked component (such as Adobe Flash Player) crashes. Most of the time it does nothing (except, for some people, to hog all of their computer's resources). It can be disabled as follows:
Type about:config into the address bar and hit 'Return'
Promise to be good (You'll see what I mean!)
Type ipc in the search box
Double-click on dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to change the setting to false.

Hi Chris! I'm still up, so - thank you!
As I look at Task Manager/Processes, you're correct about System Idle Process (90-97) - firefox.exe*32 is jumping from 00-04 (no higher) & plugin-container is static at 00.
A couple of the other processes (I'm showing "from all users") are moving from 00-01/02/03.
I do have AdBlock (sorry Ed...) & have tried with it enabled/disabled.
I do appreciate all the responders' posts :-)
