Do you hate the Adobe Flash plugin on Linux?  Most people do, because:

• It sucks CPU like there's no tomorrow.
• It's crashy.
• It's non-free.

I've learned to deal with these shortcomings, for the most part.  However, for YouTube, Vimeo, and other sites that use Flash Video, you can easily use MPlayer to watch them, instead, without any additional scripts.  Just look in /tmp or ~/.gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/epiphany/Cache for Flash* files.  Most of the time (with Epiphany, at least) the files aren't unlinked after the video has been closed, so they will stick around.  MPlayer opens the FLV files fine, and in the native resolution, too.  Give it a shot…
