Just locked up again. Only youtube causing this which is odd. Takes about 37 minutes before crash. Played the impeachment hearings on PBS in its entirety before youtube crash.

Did you check for memory related issues ?

You can check the Firefox Task Manager (about:performance) and about:memory pages.
