I've only watched a few youtube videos and I've never experienced a
crash, but on the forums several other folks have so I assume that it's
a flash plug-in problem.  If you can repeat the crash with a specific
video, that would help.  Also, watch your memory consumption (in a
terminal:  free), if you run out of swap, then that can crash firefox
without warning.  It could be a memory leak in the flash plug-in.  I've
experienced crashes with flash chat and music streaming from
www.cocgospel.com so I assume that it's the flash plug-in because the
crash corresponds with RAM filling up, then swap filling up, then crash.

If we can get a repeatable use case, then we can confirm the bug,
otherwise we know that the non-open flash plug-in is the likely culprit,
and without the source, it's tough to fix.  We can work around it by
watching for memory leaks, and other things that cause crashes.
