Firefox Crashes When I Watch Youtube Videos On My PC

Never heard of it.

Its Firefox but utilizing the full power of a x64-bit build
Waterfox - Downloads - The fastest 64-Bit browser on the web

Regular Firefox runs on a 32bit build for compatibility with older hardware... but if you have a 64-bit OS, check it out.

Eventually, Mozilla will release the 64-bit build for regular firefox, as the developer build already contains it, they are just streamlining it more first.

Idk what it is, I have 2 laptops running windows 7 ultimate, and firefox always ends up running until its using a gig of memory if not more, and also if im watching youtube there is a second program called plugin-container.exe that ends up running another gig of memory if not more. now if i close the process of plugin container flash reboots and my tabs or videos will say "flash crashed, click here to refresh' or something similar. so I know my issue has to do with flash but even if im not running/watching videos and just using multiple tabs and reading news sites (which are flash heavy) or the coli firefox ends up running high and I have to ctrl alt delete out because my cpu starts running super slow, but once i close it its 100% better and running fast again.

I tried using chrome but its the same...its not much of a bother, I consider it just normal usage and its nothing to ctrl alt delete and close firefox or plugin-container (which is a firefox process). hardware acceleration is off too

Plugin-container always crashed for me when I was using Windows with Firefox. Now I am running Linux on my desktop with Flash installed and Firefox sometimes crashes but I don't think it's related to Flash, and I am using Windows on my laptop but I uninstalled Flash so I get less crashes now. Flash is trash at this point so you should only run it if you have no alternatives.
