AFAIK, no addons for firefox do the same thing. You can get flashblock, but that just blocks flash and makes you click on a flash content if you wanted to see the video.
Got a tip for us?

Flash Player even worse in Snow Leopard?

OMFG:Alternative: install the ClickToFlash Safari plugin. There's a setting that lets you force YouTube to display H.264 video instead of Flash. It's great
Awesome! You just made my day. And there's even a direct download link. No more keepvid-stuff.
Yeah, ClickToFlash really is great, but we shouldn't be in a situation where this sort of thing is necessary. I really wish Adobe (and Apple) would get a move on and fix Flash Player's awful performance in OS X.
I'm guessing that it's the same issue preventing the iPhone OS from having Flash in its Safari browser. iPhone OS is built on OS X, afterall.
My guess is that Steve will hold out on Flash for the iPhone forever, and purposely sabotages it in OS X in the hopes that Adobe just gives up and stops with Flash altogether

Well, as long as we don't end up using Microsoft Silverlight... Actually, even Silverlight for Mac doesn't have these issues. Maybe it would be better!
