I have the same exact problem. I am using Ubuntu Feisty x64 with the latest Firefox.

I have tried the following:

Installed 32-bit Firefox with Flash

Installed 32-bit Swiftfox

Used the wrapper to install flash on the x64 Firefox

Reinstalled Ubuntu Feisty (Three times).

Deleted my profile (Several times)

Removed all extensions

Searched for duplicate flash installations (there were no duplications)

Followed the Mozilla troubleshooting guide

Tried Firefox in a terminal window (no errors)

What ends up happening is that Youtube will randomly crash the browser and I have to kill the process to get out of it. This happens one out of every five videos I view. I could stop the video, click on another one, pause it then click on another one, exit firefox completely, but no matter what you try it WILL crash when it wants to.

This happens on other sites as well. I list Youtube only because I frequent it quite a bit. I watched a video that I found on www.korn.com and it froze when I tried to navigate away from the page.

This is probably the most annoying bug I faced yet. My theory is that Adobe released a beta flash plugin as final.
