Hi there,
I had a similar issue to this a while back on a Fedora box, I found out
it was not flash plugin or firefox causing the issue, it turned out
that it was the proprietary Nvidia driver that I was using. So if you
are using Nvidia driver, it might be worth looking into. My issue was
resolved by updating the driver.
Your issue may be different, but I thought I would mention it just in
case :-).

Yes, I'm using the nvidia driver bundle from Nvidia's web site. but
then I ALWAYS have been (this machine is something like 3 years old).
However, I did update it recently, I'll have to see if I can figure
out exactly when that was (less than a week...), and maybe reinstall
the one I had previously.
thanks for the hint!

Strong recommendation: enable elrepo, at least for kmod-nvidia and
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia. That way, when you update, it will autoupdate and
autorebuild for you. I've just started moving that was for my people (and
me) who have nvidia (esp old nvidia) cards.

I echo this recommendation.
I used to use the NVIDIA drivers directly from the nvidia.com, but since
I upgraded my workstation to CentOS-6.x I have been using elrepo's rpms
for nvidia with no issues.
I certainly know how to build things (being that I build most of the c4
and c5 updates that we release), but I love the convenience that elrepo
provides. I highly recommend the elrepo site for anything that they
currently maintain, they do a great job.
