Is anyone else seeing Youtube videos crashing Firefox 39.0 on OSX 10.10.4 ?
Every time I open a youtube video FF crashes.

Do new crash reports still have the same signature if you click the link on the about:crashes page?
If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:
- bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
You can find the report ID of recent crash reports on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page (about:support).
- Click the "All Crash Reports" button on this page to open the about:crashes page and see all crash reports.
If necessary then you can open about: pages via the location/address bar.

You can try to disable the HTML5 media player as a quick test for issues and set the media.apple.mp4.enabled to false on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

I'm using the latest version of Flash, Turned off HW acceleration, restarted FF, still crashing. Note: I don't get a message saying Flash has crashed, the whole browser crashes.
I'm guessing it might have been something on Youtube's end, as of today it's working again, and I've changed nothing on my end. Thanks for all your suggestions!
Just when I thought I was out of the woods, this site just crashed my browser. (sorry about the subject matter)
