anytime I try and play a youtube video firefox simply quits. The problem seems to be youtube as I can play videos, for instance, from vice news. I am using ubuntu 14.04.2 and firefox v40. I have tried this several times. Usually there is nothing, 1 time, however, it said firefox had a problem and to send it off, which I did. My problem is that happened only 1 time out of maybe 5.

Thank you...............

I could not find where to set the solved flag. I did, however, click on your response to set it to solved and maybe that did the trick.

Thanks again!
