Hi

It is up to you whether you wish to uninstall Adobe Flash. There has been a number is security related issues with Flash recently and whilst Adobe have released updates, you may wish to reevaluate whether you want to keep updating Flash for the video content you look at.

You should be able to watch Youtube videos using Firefox without Flash. Youtube makes its videos available over HTML5, which Firefox can view without any additional software. I do not have the Adobe Flash plugin installed myself and I can view Youtube videos without a problem.

I hope this is of assistance, but if not, please come back here and we will see what we can do to help.
