So I wanted to quickly try youtube in wine to verify sound was working. I think I used to use Firefox for this, so I did sh winetricks firefox flash and fired it up... but it hung. (And it even hung my desktop once; had to use CTL ALT F1, kill firefox, and ALT F7 to recover. It must have hung while holding an X grab, that mysterious problem described in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23439#c7 ) Sad face.
Happily, sh winetricks safari got me a working browser that can do youtube just fine.

What version of Firefox?
Is it a version with out-of-process plugin support?

winetricks uses firefox 3.6.6 at the moment.

Yes, that started in 3.6.4. - Dan

This is a regression, this used to work a couple of months/ 1 year (?) ago, but it hangs. If someone with a fast computer is bored, plz carry out regression test. (My computer is really getting too slow for this as wine's amount of codelines is growing and growing)
