When I upgraded one of my systems a few months ago, it had that
symptom, except it happened every time I entered a page that included
flash. I ended up uninstalling flash because it was too annoying and I
didn't really need it on that system.

More recently, I set up a system with flash and it works fine except
that in YouTube I often have to refresh the page to get the video to
load. For some reason the player doesn't seem to initialize when I
enter the page, but reloading it always works ok.

I suspect most of the problems people are having with Flash 10 have to
do with lingering old libraries or something like that. A brute force
rebuild of all ports might fix them. Also, pay attention to the
correct make.conf settings for the Linux kernel stuff.
