    I recently noticed some different behavior when viewing YouTube videos. The flash application, itself, initiated port 80 connections rather than going through the browser. I haven't investigated this, and there is a possibility that something else I did (such as adjusting Firefox blocking rules) may be playing a role in this behavior I don't recall seeing before. Thought I'd mention it though.
