Firefox constantly crashing to desktop or freezing when on YouTube
So every day, multiple times Firefox Nightly either crashes to the crash report, stops responding, or on rare occasions freezes my whole computer causing me to restart. The thing is, this only seems to happen when im on YouTube. Also, while on YouTube, videos that are in full screen mode sometimes freeze and when i try to exit out full screen mode the Firefox window goes black but i can still do stuff like pause and play, i just cant see.

What Firefox version are u running? Since YouTube uses Adobe Flash, it may be Adobe Flash's fault. See if your Flash player is up-to-date and if not, update it. If you don't want to use Adobe Flash, try the html5 video player for YouTube. Just install it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-all-html5/?src=ss and then you can even change the options so that YouTube automatically changes to a quality of ur choice. e.g. 360p, 720p, 1080p
I'm currently using Nightly version 34.0a1. Flash is up to date. I've installed the all html5 plugin and set it so YouTube doesn't use Flash but i still get crashes

Wait, ur using firefox 34.0a1? The stable version is only 31.0 so far. 34.0a1 is probably not stable -> https://nightly.mozilla.org/ as the website says: These builds are for testing purposes
So what is the latest 64x version of Firefox?
Mozilla doesn't have a 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows OS's.
Okay so i uninstalled Nightly and installed Firefox and im still getting crashes
My Nightly had no such problems until the update to 35.0a1. Now I'm getting those crashes again.
When crash reports are needed, I can post some on request
