YouTube videos use the Flash plugin. You can test your Flash plugin and see what version is installed by going to Adobe's Flash Player test page. To update Flash to the latest version, see Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems.
Starting in Firefox 3.6.4, Flash is loaded in a separate plugin-container process. For the background, see the articles What is plugin-container and Plugin-container and out-of-process plugins (MozillaZine KB).
If Firefox hangs when playing Flash videos at YouTube, it could be a video driver issue, Try turning off hardware acceleration in your Flash Player display settings (visit any page that uses Flash, such as Adobe's test page, then right-click the Flash animation, select Settings, and uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration" on the Display panel). ...More information here:
