I've found there seems to be some sort of incompatibility between the scripts used on just about any page featuring a youtube video and firefox. There will be a few minutes of unresponsiveness, followed by a message that the mentioned script isn't functioning and asking if I want the script to continue or for me to stop it. The difficulty is, this occurs each and every time I encounter any video, particularly those of video advertisements people have placed on their websites.
