Hello I've been having this wierd problem sometimes and it's really annoying. I will try to describe it: -I go into youtube; -I choose a video: -It won't crash if i see the video, but if i scroll down to comments sometimes it crashes Mozilla.(not 100%) -It gets stuck on the loading coments and it freezes the browser leaving my only option to close it (saying it stopped working) and open it again).

The windows message error says it was AppHangXProcB1. Can someone helpe me out?

Also this happens in safe mode too.

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

I've been having the exact same problem the last 2 weeks, more or less. Firefox crashes when on youtube when I start to scroll or even when I try to go to another tab. It doesn't seem to be the plugin that crashes because when that crashes it usually doesn't crash the whole browser, when it's only the plugin that crashes you get the message "shockwave flash has stopped working" or something like that, and if you click on the stop plugin button, it just greys out the video frame; I've had this type of crash too, yesterday, but not on the youtube site, it was on another site, in a page with several youtube videos embedded, maybe the two things are related, I don't know, but this type of crash only happened yesterday, and I dont' even recall the last time it had happened. The other type of crash, as I said, crashes the whole browser, but I also noticed that it doesn't save a crash report; today it happened several times, but the last crash report is the one from yesterday, from the plugin crash I was talking about! Also, I tried with internet explorer, and all seems to work fine, no crash when I scroll or view videos on youtube; also yesterday, when the plugin was crashing repeatedly, I went in IE and tried with that, and all was working fine. To sum up, Firefox crashes when scrolling down pages on youtube, not always, but a lot, sometimes when switching to another tab from youtube, yesterday the plugin crashed repeatedly in a page with embedded youtube videos, no crash report for the first type of crash, IE work fine in both cases. Finally, hardware acceleration in the plugin is disabled, I tried having protected mode in the Flash plugin both disabled and enabled, and no update for my graphic card is available.

Here are some crash reports: bp-6b4c46ed-2f56-4444-97ab-3f0962150321 bp-1ae616b1-a70c-4406-b40f-e94822150321 bp-47d1ca1d-8e27-4cac-b7cc-50bf32150321 bp-1bef437a-5075-448e-9620-c88622150321 bp-4fbdba33-f847-4b22-8983-765122150321 bp-37f62c1a-bd76-425e-a43b-2dc8e2150306

Hey, thanks for helping! I did a system file check and it says "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them". In the log then, the only file that seems it was not possible to repair is "member file [l:36{18}]"Amd64\CNBJ2530.DPB" of prncacla.inf, Version = 6.3.9600.17415". The log is huge so I cannot copy it, I don't know if it's possible to upload a text file, but then again I don't think there's much more. As I said no graphics driver updates are available for my card. After the System file check I went to youtube and started scrolling up and down and the crash happened.
