crash, computer starts to reload when I go to YouTube and choose a file to watch. I repeated it 3 times. After reload I run FireFox again, and get a message "Minefield is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page". When I unchecked YouTube button, FireFox restored my tabs. 
When I tried to watch the same files on YouTube with Internet Explorer, no crashes.

3.Computer reloads
Actual Results:

Does the whole computer crash, or just firefox? If the whole computer crashes, this is something other than firefox, such as anti-virus, firewall, video drivers, etc. If just firefox is crashing, please give a stacktrace. https://developer.mozilla.org/En/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report
What version of flash are you running?

The whole compute crashes. I am running Shockwave Flash 10.1 d51

Well, if the whole computer crashes that is not the fault of firefox, because Firefox is a userspace application, not a kernalspace application. So, I recommend updating your video drivers, network drivers, disable your firewall, disable your anti-virus, etc.

A crash of windows is never the fault of Firefox. It only triggers a bug in one of your drivers. Updating the video card drivers as Tyler recommend is the first thing i would try, the next thing would be the audio drivers.
