Firefox freezes on YouTube, IE doesn't
Yeah. For some reason, YouTube just doesn't want to work on Firefox. I've tried running it in Safe Mode, installing Flash Player again, and downgrading back to 13, but none of those solve my problem at all.
Meanwhile, Internet Explorer is running YouTube just fine.
I've also tried other Flash sites on Firefox; no problems at all. Can someone help?

Are you participating in the HTML5 trial; does that make any difference?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies in the following dialog (this will log you out)
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Ah, that was the problem. I cleared the cookies for Youtube and now it works. Thanks.
