for you ?

Title:
  adobe flash player plugin always crashes on youtube

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Flash player crashes very often, especially watching videos on
  Youtube. It's almost impossible to watch a video without having it
  crash a couple of times.

  Switching full screen mode on and off, reloading a video, and video
  buffering, seem to be a few things that increase the probability of
  crashing.

  Additionally, the "send crash report" option almost always fails.
