Every time I attempt to put Youtube into Fullscreen mode Firefox crashes. The only add-on I have is U Block. I've already run a fresh install of Firefox, and it still crashes upon trying to fullscreen. I am running Yosemite on a Macbook Pro 2010. Youtube works fine in the Safari browser, and all other video types (Silverlight for Netflix) work fine on Firefox.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

I've tried all of your suggestions and the problem still occurs - even in safe mode. I don't think this is an issue with flash, because its an HTML5 video and it works fine except in fullscreen.

Thanks for your suggestions, and if you have any more I'd be happy to try them out too!
