When using Ubuntu‘s latest 7.04 (codename Feisty) release, Firefox and YouTube don’t work well together. Firefox hangs when exploring the YouTube site!!!
This bug is so irritating, I believe it is enough to stop a LOT of people from using Firefox and Ubuntu altogether. Too bad. This had to happen just when I was starting to like really like Ubuntu and very close to recommending it to my friends.
As I commented in the bug page, this seems to be not a problem with the flash plugin but more like an issue in Gecko, the underlying technology used by Firefox and other Mozilla-based browsers (Epiphany for example).
The exact same plugin works without problems in Opera, which doesn’t use the Gecko layout engine.

This happened to me too in my previous computer when I upgraded my flash plugin… that’s why on my desktop I didn’t bother to upgrade it anymore 😀

You did the right thing. Right now, I’m switching between Opera and Firefox. Opera when I feel like visiting flash-heavy sites. Firefox for all other occasions.I would have moved entirely to Opera if not for lack of support from Google and my Japanese language input.
