Is it just me or is firefox 3 not handling flash well? im constantly crashing on sites like youtube seem to do it alot

Hmm, have you tried a fresh install? Or before you do that, try creating a new profile and see if it continues to crash.

When my browser does something it shouldn't normally (like crashing), a fresh install is what works for me.

Also make sure you try FF without any addons enabled. They call this safe mode. Start --> All Programs --> Mozilla Firefox --> Mozilla Firefox (Safe mode)

So new profile, fresh install, safe mode. If still crashing...I heard Opera is a good browser.

I have the same problems with firefox too actually. It doesnt handle flash very well (especially here on linux). Thats why I have opera installed, anything flash i want I use opera

It's wierd since I don't have a problem with flash and I visit flash sites every single day, both on windows and linux.
Hence why I proposed the steps to kilaj, to see what might be causing the crash. Because obviously, it shouldn't.

There is also the option of clearing out the cache and also uninstalling and installing flash again.

there is a "problem" when upgrading to ff3 and you were using adblock before, the addon still pointing to some old folder and blocking all flash content, just remove it and add it back.

Opera just has that oomph without feeling bloated lol. It has the better "out of the box" experience for sure.
