HTML5 is very bothering i think because it consumes a lot of energy.
you can disable automatic playback of it by going to
in firefox
type
about:config (in statusbar)
then click "OK"
search for "webm" (again in statusbar)
disable automatic playback webm content or so.
id try to use
firefox + greasemonkey + viewtube (by sebaro script) instead.
then u can use mplayer or vlc plugin to playback video - that should
work better.
there is also a greasemonkey port for seamonkey on sourceforce but i did
not find it installable.
strangely enough i found last time greasemonkey not installable on
powerpc g5 machine. i dont know why, though. please someone try this out
thanks

Hi Clive,
YouTube should just work these days, since it falls back to using a HTML5
player. If it's not doing
that automatically then you can go to the following page to check:

I think you may need some extra gstreamer plugins installed if it show
you don't
have full support
for the required formats.
I wouldn't bother with the Gnash or Lightspark plugins that attempted
to create
open source
equivalents of the the Flash plugin. I found them very buggy and
incomplete even
when they were
under active development.
Many thanks Chris
and for the machine which is great.

Clive
