Safari will not play Youtube videos!!!

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz Imac and I am running Snow Leoprad 10.6.8. The problem I am having is that since I recently uipdated Safari, I cannot run Youtube videos. Every time I try watching one, the page crashes. I know I am not alone here and I am surprised Apple has not approached this situation yet. I have tried running youtube videos on Firefox and have had no problems doing so, thus I figure it must be Safari. I've tried running safari in 32 bit mode and that has not helped. I have emptied the cache and reset Safari as well but still no go. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi, I had a similar issue to this thread. Recently I haven't been able to load above 720p videos in youtube on safari on mavericks. Heres the thread and how i solved it if anyone else encounters this issue then you can give this a try. Its an extension that forces flash instead of html5 which i believe was the problem in safari.

do you need flash to watch youtube above 720p?

thx 🙂
