A better workaround: in about:config right-click any line, choose New,
Boolean, enter the name dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npwrapper.libflashplayer.so ,
choose false. Then dom.ipc.plugins.enabled can be set to true (default).
This disables plugin-container for Flash plugin only.
Other plugins are executed in separate processes
protecting Firefox from crashing when a plugin crashes.
However, it's still a workaround, not a fix.
With this workaround, if Flash plugin crashes, Firefox crashes too.
Also, the abovementioned report that some non-Youtube videos will not play
if the parameter is set to false.
