I have to confess that I have spent in the last couple of weeks more time on youtube.com and I cannot confirm that it would crash that often. Moreover, unfortunately, the crashes you send us are from the breakpad (http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/) system which upstream included in their browser although it is not supported by the tools, so we cannot analyze the backtrace properly. Please, try to reproduce this again and get backtraces using the classical method. Please install firefox-debuginfo (debuginfo-install is from the yum-utils package): debuginfo-install firefox Then run firefox with a parameter -g. That will start firefox running inside of gdb debugger. Then use command run and do whatever you did to make firefox crash. When it happens, you should go back to the gdb and run (gdb) thread apply all backtrace This produces usually many screens of the text. Copy all of them into a text editor and attach the file to the bug as an uncompressed attachment. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Let me know if further information is needed.
This is a crash in closed source flash plugin. Install nspluginwrapper package to prevent the crashes. We can't do anything with the flash plugin itself...
