No problems with FF 2.
Upgraded to FF 3. Now, streaming YouTube (and other) videos, crash browser (about 1 out of 3 to 5 video plays).
Other than this, FF3 is stable and fast.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to YouTube
2. Pick one video to play over and over, or; play various videos.
3. Eventually FF3 will crash.
Actual Results:  
ERROR - "firefox has encountered problem and needs to close"
Mozilla Crash Reporter DOESN'T show.

Expected Results:  
That I wouldn't crash.

- FF and add-ons are all current build:
AdBlock Plus 0.7.5.5
Flashblock 1.5.6
NoScript 1.8
Live HTTP Headers 0.14
Add N Edit Cookies 0.2.1.3

* NOTE: If video crashes browser, it happens a second or two after video starts to play. Once the video gets past that point, it will play fine.

I had Task Manager on, and didn't notice any sudden jump in CPU usage, prior to the crashes.

see http://mversen.de/crash/ , you need either flash10beta or you must use the windbg way to generate a stack trace.

The "Device\Ide\iaStor0" problems means that windows had problems with accessing the HDD

I traced this to a problem FLASHBLOCK has with FF3, crashing on some URL forms, for full screen video streaming.

I posted a Bug Report with MozDev, who hopefully will resolve the issue.
