[Bug 239960] [NEW] Firefox freezes on visiting YouTube.

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi.

Upon visiting YouTube last night I managed to play 1x video in small
screen mode sucessfully, and upon playing a second video, Firefox then
froze at the end of the second video. Then went into an audio loop and
just wouldn't allow me to do anying else with Firefox. I managed to
close down 2 other small running applications (Pidgin IM & Mozilla
Thunderbird) but not Firefox. I had to restart the machine which then on
restart gave me errors on start up in Unbuntu, going into Recovery mode
sorted out that problem, but I still cannot visit YouTube without some
kind of problem occouring on this machine. It works fine on 3 other
machines here 2 running PC Linux OS the other (a laptop) running Vista.
This is NOT the first time this has happened on this machine.

Linux Ubuntu, release 8.04 (Hardy). Kernel Linux 2.6.24-17 Generic.
Gnome 2.22.2    Hardware: 1.5Gb RAM, Intel Celeron 2.66GHz. Available
disk space 54.1Gb
