You need to install the Adblock Plus extension, then open the Adblock preferences and add "s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/PMS*.swf" as a filter. You may have to restart Firefox a few times during this process.

I'll take care of that later on then. I don't fel like going through the hassle of multiple restarts right now.  :D

It only took one restart for me (which was to install the extension; applying the fix took effect without a restart). If you have Firefox 3, you can have it restore your tabs upon restart as well. :yes:
