Hi, The Youtube symptoms you describe I also experienced on 32-bit Lenny and Iceweasel precisely as you explained them. I believe I finally tracked it down to flashplugin-nonfree and flashplayer-mozilla. I removed those and it seemed to clear up the problem. The Adobe 10 flash install has libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ It still seems to be working on Squeeze.
