    Well youtube has been running real slow for me these days, taking almost 5 mins to start playing a video. Once it starts it loads as normal do. I'm running FF3 RC1

    The missing plugin is most likely Adobe Flash Player.

    You can get it on their site. But I highly recommend you try their latest beta. Seems a little more stable than the latest 9.xx series.

    You don`t have to restart the system, just close the browser. I did the same update (adobe flash) on my NX9420 for Mozilla and worked without any restart. *Just had to close Mozilla*

    What version of Firefox are you using? I'm using FF3 RC1 and installed flash via Adobe's site and have had no problems with youtube.
