<param name="movie" value="http://www.goopal.org/34-fullscreen.swf" />

Flash can use System Hardware Acceleration , too many browser windows / tabs open simultaneously can cause Flash to stall or crash completely. Flash Event Listeners are very system intensive, may require hardware acceleration.

You can Right click on the Flash Embed and go to Setting and disable the Flash Hardware Acceleration and other Site orientated configurations. 

Flash Settings are Built in to Chrome Browsers
