Heh - sorry - just teasing with my terse reply.
It's just that we get this question all the time. Probably 50% of the questions on this board are this question, worded slightly differently. And the shortest answer is: "No", followed closely by the slightly longer answer: "No - not like you can in Windows or Mac."
So - don't worry - I'll give the full answer.
The problem isn't Firefox for the PS3. The problem is Adobe Flash. There isn't a version of Adobe Flash for PowerPC Linux. And, since Adobe Flash is closed source, we can't compile a version either.
The only solution is reverse engineering Flash from Adobe's published specifications. There are currently two projects trying to do this - gnash & swfdec. Neither are very fast, nor very compatible - it's very hard to reverse engineer Flash - and Flash isn't written that efficiently in the first place. Gnash barely works with YouTube, and is very, very slow.
Your best bet is either to use a plugin called Download Helper:
http://www.downloadhelper.net/to pull the video to your hard drive, then use a program called Totem (installed by default) to view them. Or - simply flip back to the PS3 GameOS and use the built-in browser to watch.
Other members of the forums have alternate solutions, but none are as simple as using Flash. Search the forum for "Flash" and "YouTube" - most of us try to watch YouTube with Flash.

P.S. If you decide to use Totem, you'll probably need to add
gstreamer-plugins-ugly &
gstreamer-plugins-bad. They don't come installed by default, nor are they included in the standard Yellow Dog repositories. You'll have to add the extra repositories as listed here:
