Youtube, Metacafe crash usually when I go to their website and click on a link. Here, I've provided video of what I mean. Before, Windows said it was DEP that closed the program, but upon reinstalling FF2 and going to FF3 again, Firefox just closes. 

*Video Link(uploaded in IE...)* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdC0JFVNqQ8

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox3.
2.Go to Youtube.com, wait, if no crash then...
3.Click to watch any video, click on any link, FF3 will crash.
Actual Results:  
Crash.

Expected Results:  
The software shouldn't have crashed.

Firefox3 apparently doesn't report a crash after crashing from this. I'm running Vista home premium 32-bit. 2 Gigs or RAM.

The flash plugin breaks the crash reporter at the moment until Adobe releases a new version.
The minimum information that you have to include in such a bug report is the used Flash Version (about:plugins) and you also should try the firefox safemode.
(http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode )

If you still crash in the safemode and the latest plugin version use this instructions to generate a stack trace :

Please attahc it to this bug (not post)

I'm using Flash 9.0 r124. I don't get it, after I installed Spybot-SD, I can get onto Youtube once more, but the program didn't find any problem with my computer. Before, since I downloaded it on "Download Day," I've had the problem and now it's mysteriously gone. Metacafe works as well. My "timeline" is 
1.download FF3, crash on youtube/metacafe randomly.
2.install FF2 again, no crashing.
3.Installed FF3 once more, crashing, but this time, I could actually see the homepage of youtube etc. before crashing.
4.Install Spybot, no more crashing.

Hmm, i will mark this bug incomplete.
Please reopen if you crash again and if you have a stack trace
