Firefox hangs after loading certain sites
Since today i've had a weir problem with firefox. When i load youtube (i've also noticed on the site www.geenstijl.nl) my firefox hangs almost instantly. It keeps playing the music for as far as it has loaded, but time/image etc gets stuck. I can stil move my mouse as normal, and it's still the normal cursor shape as well. I cant open a new tab, or close firefox the normal way.
The only way to close it, is by going through the task messenger. It instantly responds when i press "end task" while in my experiance most hangs don't respond to that either - and forcing you to end process instead (if you want out instantly). I've just noticed as well, that if i "end task" with multiple tabs open, i get the warning about tabs closing - causing my firefox to respond again. However, if i cancel the shutting down - and come back on the youtube page - it stops responding inmediatly.
I've done a complete re-install of firefox and flash player and still have this problem. Other sites using flashplayer (streams, dumpert.nl) are working fine.
Firefox doesn't seem to recognise that it's hanging/crashing - i've not recieved any error reports. Anyone who can help me fix this?
Thanks in advance, Naatz

Forgot to mention, youtube is working fine on IE, had firefox installed fine for the time since i've had this pc (about 5months) - and system specs are more then capable of handling it (4gb ram, I5 processor, high end videocard).
