Description:
The upgrade from gtk2-2.16 to gtk2-2.18 did cause some strange behaviour on my system when playing a flash-application with firefox. Any user interactive flash plugin seems to be not responsive to mouse clicks.
Downgrade to gtk2-2.16 did solve the problem.

Steps to reproduce:
- Go to youtube
- play a video
- try to stop the video or change the volume
This task depends upon

This should be reported upstream at adobe, as we can't fix non-free software.

I confirm the same behavior in the 686 flavor. Downgrading to previous version restores mouse related features.
Other flash video sites seems to work though.

Downgrading gtk just for the binary flash plugin to work does not look like a good idea.
Better use swfdec or gnash until Adobe fixes this.
