Are you still seeing this with Firefox 4 final?

I can confirm that Firefox 6.0a1 freezes when playing a youtube video on WindowsXP using the following STR:
1. Open any video on www.youtube.com
2. Press Full Screen button
3. Right click on the video and from the context menu select Pop out

I'm resolving this INVALID since the Youtube UI changed that there's no Button but rather a Content Menu Item now and concerning Comment 3 Bug 675645 has been filed for Firefox 6 (and upwards).
