More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
The solution is to
- disable all youtube addons (youtube flashplayer, youtube all htlm5, etc)
- if you're using Flashblock, click on Options, Whitelist, and add *.youtube and *.youtube.* to the Whitelist (also add the youtube url shortcuts *.ytimg.com and *.ytimg.*)
Firefox seems to have temporarily made it universally easier for Youtube to play on all browsers
