Just today March 23, 2012 I crash everytime I go to youtube.com not just on Firefox but IE as well so this is probably a Adobe flash problem. But perhaps the FF community is more insightful.

Tested in safe mode with add-ons disabled, still no luck same crash. Other flash sites are no problem so far, just youtube.

I am downloading a torrent right now. On Windows XP pro 32-bit machine, maybe this is something to do with maximum TCP connections? FF and Adobe Flash are latest versions.

That is a crash with the Flash plugin (NPSWF32.DLL)

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
