I've noticed it in general with either the new FF or one of the recent Flash updates. The trapping of keystrokes/mouse scroll happens on youtube, and clicking outside the video box seems to work sporadically.

I also get frequent tearing and blanked out video control bar.

The worst part is that it also traps media keys. If I'm watching a youtube video, I need to click out of Firefox to mute or change the volume using my keyboard. It's really fun when you click play, forgetting your speakers are turned up and the sound comes blasting out at ridiculous levels and you scramble for the mute button or volume dial and nothing happens.

Speaking of YouTube, for several months now I've had this issue where it chokes for about 1/2 second every ~10 seconds of playtime, regardless of resolution, full-screen status, embedded status etc. Watching YouTube on Chromium works fine, so it's something with my Firefox. Does that symptom ring a bell with anyone?

My wife's laptop has had similar issues. In her case though, it's because she has two Firefox windows open with about fifty or so tabs open that have been going for week or months on end and it's using up about 1.5GB of memory. The video freezes for a split second every ten seconds or so, but the audio continues. You can open up IE at the same time and a video will play normally. I'm guessing your issue isn't form abusing Firefox as badly as my wife though.
