I installed OS X Lion on my mid-2011 iMac 27", and now my computer crashes frequently when trying to play a YouTube flash video.
I used to tell a Mac crashes less than a Windows PC. Not anymore; my iMac crashes very frequently whenever playing a YouTube video.
Dear Apple, please fix!

A few people claim to have fixed it but most are waiting on updates.

Right click on the Flash Video while it is playing and pick Settings from the menu. Uncheck 'Enable Hardware Acceleration. See if that helps...

There is a third party app that might help too, (in the above URL). My new iMac was locking up when playing videos. After a few days it's working without locking up.
