Firefox crashes
Playing YouTube videos in Firefox on Windows 8 periodically crashes the browser. When several videos are open, the browser crash is imminent. When the browser crashes, some phantom Firefox processes keep running - they can be seen in the Task Manager. These phantom processes do not prevent the browser from restarting, though.

This is not a cure, but should let the web page load without crashing.
Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
