I'm currently running FF 30.0 with Shockwave Flash 14.0.0.145 in Windows 8.1. Whenever I open Youtube, Firefox immediately becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, after which it alternates between being responsive and unresponsive. This is just from opening Youtube, not from trying to play videos even. I know that this sort of problem is fairly common, so I already tried disabling protected mode in my flash plugin and disabling hardware acceleration, but neither of these things has helped. Any suggestions on what I should try next are appreciated. Thanks!

Please try restarting Firefox in safe mode. Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode

Do you keep a large history? "3-bar" Firefox menu button > History > Show Al History

You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
