User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071008 Firefox/2.0.0.8

Infrequently, after viewing several pages in Youtube firefox stops loading Youtube . Trying to load on other browsers on the same machine at the time shows that the problem only exists in Firefox. This does not always happen, but frequently enough  for it to be a problem.
Generally the problem persists for around 20 minutes before pages from Youtube can be loaded again. Other websites using a flash player do not cause this problem, and can still be viewed during the timeout period.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
