Watching youtube cause storage running out of space on android, can you do sth. about it?
I believe because of sandbox on android, the internal storage of the phone is running out of space. I tried to put firefox on sdcard, but it does not solve the issue of flash video caching. It is still collected on the main storage, which typically is very limited. Eventually I have to clear private data after viewing few longer videos, can you solve this? e.g. by putting cache of flash videos to sdcard?

Please make sure Flash plug-in in Firefox is doing the playback (so the issue is for Mozilla and Adobe) and not the Youtube app, I mean, there is always the option to load the video in Flash player or Youtube default app.
AFAIK, YouTube Android app does not store cache in internal memory if a SD card is available, because I have a Android phone with few internal memory but it works. So try to play the video from YouTube app. Despite I hardly ever play videos from Firefox Android and don't have the phone to try now, I think you can choose between playing the video from Firefox or from Youtube app. To do so, please, restore all defaults (Go to System Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and choose to restore default associations in Youtube, Firefox and Flash Player apps) then try to play the video again.
If you still want Firefox developers to do something over this, please remember the people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
