YouTube freezing before loading video

When I go to youtube and search for a video and click a link, it loads up the video, but first it freezes for about 10-15 seconds, and the flash video window doesn't load properly. I have to hover the mouse over the different buttons in the video field to make them appear.

Before this occured, I got a notice about something being wrong with a script, I didn't think really and I chose to continue running the script and not to show the dialogue box again! I don't know how to undo this option. How do I do this?

Also, I have tried booting FF in safemode and trying to do the same thing on YouTube, and it continues to do the same thing. What should I do to fix this?

I might add that it doesn't seem to happen when I click links in my favourites, only after searching.

Ok I got the prompt to appear again, after clearing my cashe. This is what I get; "A script on this page may be busy, or stopped working. You can stop the script now, or continue to see if the script will finish.

Script: http://s.ytimg.com/yt/jsbin/html5player-vflGWJljH.js:58"

Translated from "Ett skript på den här sidan kan vara upptaget, eller ha slutat att svara. Du kan stoppa skriptet nu, eller så kan du fortsätta för att se om skriptet slutförs." (Don't know if everything is correctly translated, but I guess you know what dialogue box I'm talking about.

So back on topic, what's wrong?

You have to urgently solve the problem that regularly occurs after the upgrade procedure in the entire Firefox community. You must give people, its users the opportunity to return to the old version, with one click, no uninstall, reinstall ... One click downgrade! Who will now help me to solve a bunch of problems that were created out of nowhere after the new version, how many days, weeks, months, I should be used to find the source of my problems caused by the new 14 version of Firefox? Who? Surfing has become intolerable in Firefox!
