I first saw this happen some time after Feisty was released. Some update triggered the bug. Before everything seemed fine.

Now this persists also in Gutsy. I have an intel HDA on my laptop. I have also seen this happen on my LTSP server after upgrading from EDGY to Gutsy. Had to revert back to my Edgy backup because I can't expect my users to restart firefox all the time. And yes, this also happens in Konqueror. But it might also be related to some problem within the flash-plugin.

It freezes my firefox every time!

I also have reported this issue in some other bug reports which most certainly are duplicates:
Bug #84844
Bug #104470

This might be related:
Bug #129656
Bug #158473

I would consider this another of these MUST-FIX bugs. We need a special bug fixing team concentrating on these kinds of bugs! It is an embarrassment to have firefox freeze on youtube all the time. Especially as this is what most people do on the web these days!
