Nvidia drivers with odd screen artifacts is may be duplicate of bug #355191.

Try disabling hardware acceleration and see if the problem persists:

-> Go to any running flash applet
-> Right-click and choose 'Settings..."
-> In the first pane that appears, un-check the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" box
-> Restart firefox and see if the problem persists

Seems like this flicker can be reproduced with mesa code if composite extension is used (on r600g and r300g code at minimal)... :(
Comment 6 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-05-16 15:15:38 UTC
Okay, since this exhibits on more video hardware than just nvidia, it is *not* a duplicate of bug #355191.

Disabling hardware acceleration may clean up some of the video issues at the cost of your videos becoming more laggy.

You may want to report this upstream:

I have exactly the same problem. It even crashes my system several times so now I have to mask 10.3.181.14-r1. I am using nvidia-drivers-270.41.06
Comment 8 kaszynek 2011-05-27 12:34:20 UTC
I have also the same problem.
Also my flash sometimes is hanging on. (Maybe it is somehow related)
I have some strange error in firefox like this:

*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue()
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_WriteReady() wait for reply: Message timeout

Comment 9 kaszynek 2011-06-02 18:51:35 UTC
with nspluginwrapper-1.4.0-r1  I have the same problem :/ 
it can be somehow related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467042 but it is from 2008...
Comment 10 tman 2011-06-20 12:18:01 UTC
it does solve with nspluginwrapper-1.4.2.

the problem is still exist
Comment 11 tman 2011-06-21 09:53:42 UTC
woah really annoying, now flash crash and let whole system freeze
Comment 12 Fab 2011-10-30 19:01:52 UTC
Happens since a few days (or weeks?) under Xfce on a stable x86 system with :
 * (testing) firefox-7.0.1-r1
 * (stable) adobe-flash-10.3.183.10
 * (stable) nvidia-drivers-275.09.07

Upgrading to testing adobe-flash-11.0.1.152 beta version seems to solve the problem.
Comment 13 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-12-25 03:46:10 UTC
Now that 11.1 has been officially released, can those who were experiencing this problem please test with the latest version?

Works fine for me since a while.
Comment 15 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-01-01 23:56:31 UTC
I think this has probably been resolved with 11.1 : Marking as fixed Upstream.
Comment 16 Siim Ainsaar 2012-03-29 10:14:57 UTC
I have not seen this bug for a while, up to www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.1.102.63 everything has been fine. But now I am seeing it again with both 11.2.202.223 and 11.2.202.228. I have tried x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-290.10-r2 and 295.33, both show the problem. I am using www-client/firefox-11.0-r1 in x11-wm/fluxbox-1.3.2. 

To reproduce, pause any Youtube video on one virtual desktop and look at another virtual desktop. Black pixels are not black there, but show the paused video frame instead. In addition, all the colors in the video are too blue!
