Hi Team,

I download 17.0.1 latest version of FireFox to Windows 7. While opening youtube.com its ask for a script to stop or continue i'm stopping that script and after that complete firefox gets hang.

Rest of the websites are working fine, just for youtube.com why firefox gets hang.

I'm using the firefox since ages but never faced such type of issue.

Kindly suggest how to get rid of this?

Regards, Hitesh

Try launching ff in a safe-mode. This might be some add-on you have installed (eg. some yt downloader) might be not fully compatible with newest ff.

You need to allow javascript to use Flash, which most of the videos on YouTube currently need. You could try disabling hardware acceleration and see if that helps.
