Firefox locks up when I open Youtube videos
When I open up a Youtube video, either in the same or different tab, Firefox stopped responding for about 10-15 seconds, even before I can even click on it if it's a new tab, and I can't click on anything. After that, it works fine. I think it only freezes on long videos, but I haven't fully tested which videos will freeze it and which won't

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows {web link} Uninstall Flash Player | Mac {web link}
Then reinstall the latest version.
Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
Flash Player Version 32.0.0.156

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Yeah, whern I start it in safe mode the problem is still there
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
