firefox crashes when loading videos on youtube

[Rex]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

While I'm watching a video in youtube and I decide to view another video, firefox crashes..I don't get it. I didn't have these problems with firefox 2 in windows. Now I'm on ubuntu hardy with firefox 3 and I can't view videos because of those crashes! Apart from that if I decide to switch to full screen mode the video seems like a slideshow! very low frame rate. But that's another bug I guess... I'll make a different post for that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

libflashsupport package if you have it installed.
