Here is a link to my crash report: http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-022908e8-029d-4c07-88de-36fa12100515

I asked for help here once before and tried everything suggested, including reinstalling flash, reinstalling firefox, reinstalling java, performing updates. The crashes are completely random, but almost 3 to four times a week.

If you have the AVG antivirus link scanner, please disable it. That could be a cause of the problem.

My problem isn't a crash per say, firefox just hangs as soon as I start to play a youtube video. I've tried every fix I have found and nothing has cured this. As soon as I press play on a youtube video, Firefox hangs and have to use task manager to kill it.

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit with firefox 3.6.4 and the current version of flash.

please update your graphics drivers / software. then right click on flash video (you tube or any online video) and disable the video acceleration in setting of flash.... this will definitely solve your problem. ...(for AMD with ATI; update for graphics software solved most problems.)

And while you're at it, update Firefox to at least 3.6.17 to avoid security problems.
