Help! FF 9.0.1 crashes as soon as I open videos (e.g. youtube)
Hey all,
since a couple of days Firefox (V. 9.0.1) crashes every time I open a video website or a site that contains "animated adds". I already tried to - start in the save mode - deinstall all plugins - reinstall FF (also made a "clean reinstall") - update/reinstall the Flash player - create a new profile
but the problem persists. I'd appreciate any help to fix this issue!
Thanks in advance, mirantes

I am unable to open any youtube files with firefox 9. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the latest version. Installed the latest adobe 11 flash player and I still can not get the youtube files to open. Just a black box with no play,pause or other buttons. Preparing to leave firefox if the problem is not corrected. Frank

Thx for your answer mha007, unfortunately it didn't help. My plug-ins are all up to date, Cache empty, cookies deleted and I disabled the hardware accelaration, but still FF freezes as soon as I open youtube or any other video channel :(
