Blame Youtube for that. It is very much in Google's interest to have Youtube misbehave on non-Google browsers.

No website should be able to crash a good web browser. It's totally a Firefox failure.

Is that tab crashes or whole browser crash? YouTube on Firefox appear to trigger memory leaks of some sort. I get routine tab crashes for that reason too, but not as much browser crashes.

Tab crashes sometimes, other times my browser gets slow and I restart the whole thing

Google has been caught red-handed causing deliberate issues for non-Chrome browsers. Try changing the browser-agent and see if you still have issues.

Firefox and Chrome use the same agent.

That's on YouTube. It doesn't work well on anything now, and hasn't for a long, long while.
