Has anyone else had trouble over the last few days viewing any Youtube videos in Firefox (FF)? A few days ago I went to watch a Youtube video and it caused FF to hang and memory consumption to go through the roof (I ended the Firefox task in task manager when FF memory consumption reached about 2GB!).
Doing a little digging I found a plugin that forces FF to load the flash versions of the videos. Even they seem to semi-hang FF when loading. I don’t know what has changed with the Youtube site but something about it doesn’t get on with FF? Anyone got any ideas as to what has changed about Youtube that FF doesn’t like or to permanent solutions (probably something that I can tweak in about:config ?
