Firefox crashes
Everytime I go to youtube or perezhilton.com my firefox stalls and shows the spinning wheel. I end up having to close firefox by forcing it to quit by going to finder. I am using a mac. I have tried re-installing firefox and updating adobe. The firefox still crashes even when in safe mode.

For some time now, a lot of Mac’s with Microsoft programs have been crashing. Check with Microsoft / Mac support sites.
If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
