Same here, only in my case I have those problems with Opera. I've deleted all temp files and cookies when I signed off the net, but could only watch 1 or 2 videos when I signed in again. I finally uninstalled the new flash plugin and reverted to the previous version - problem solved!

Uninstall unwanted add-ons:



First thing that you should do to fix Mozilla Firefox crashes is to uninstall unwanted add-ons installed. Some websites forcefully install toolbars or add-ons that cause your browser to crash often.



Scan System for viruses:



If you don't have antivirus installed on your system then malware can intercept smooth communication of browser and operating system. Also make sure that antivirus program that you are using is updated. Remember to clean your system with some powerful antivirus program.



Fix Windows Registry:



Browser related setting is stored in the registry database of operating system. You may receive various problems when registry entries related to browser are corrupted, missing or damaged.



There are two methods to fix this problem. One of them is to manually modify your registry and another is to use third party registry cleaner and PC optimizer software. Manual modification is not recommended as it is complicated. You may opt for second method that is to use third party registry cleaner and PC optimizer.

6. Open web browser.
