I've become a big fan of the FlashBlock addon/extension.  It blocks all flash animations from starting until you actively click on them.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/433/

Appearently you can setup a whitelist that will allow certain sites to load.  There is not a blacklist, so you couldn't block only YouTube....you block everything.

Does anyone know of a Firefox extension that blocks embedded YouTube
objects the way adblock blocks banners (preferably substituting a
link).  Google has not been much of a friend on this one.
