I immediately un-installed ClickToFlash when my system froze while watching a Youtube movie with the H.264 codec, I had to perform a hard reboot.
That's a troubling problem. H.264 is played entirely through the QuickTime subsystem - ClickToFlash just tells Safari where to find the H.264 version.

If it's causing problems, you can disable the H.264 features for YouTube, and just have the ClickToFlash part enabled - YouTube will then just load the normal Flash videos when you click.
 
Run Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder). Select your hard disk. "Repair Disk Permissions" should be visible.

yes or get Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner or YASU and run all the cleaning options and restart.

Yes, I already did that :), I re-installed ClickToFlash and will not use the H.264 codec again untill I have a clue what causes it to freeze.

I have two '264' components:
X264Codec.component placed in /Library/QuickTime
H.264.component placed in System/Library/QuickTime

Maybe it is the '3rd party' x264Codec component that causes the problem?
Well dragging it to the trash the Youtube movies no longer load in H.264.
Is there a way I can get Apple's version of the x264Codec back?
 
Snow Leopard Cache cleaner has really solved a lot of the problems I had with 10.6 and has prevented anything from popping up as of yet with 10.6.1.
 
Had no issues with 10.6.0 save for the boot-up brightness, which was fixed for me even before I upgraded to 10.6.1.

No flash crashing, no slowdown, no incompatibility with apps or extension that wasn't resolved within days, no kernel panics, no browsers crashing..

I love it all so far!
 
I wonder if it may have been Flash that caused some people to get 70-90% CPU loads from Firefox. Did anyone here have the CPU issue with Firefox after upgrading to 10.6? I do know there were some MR members that mentioned it after release day.

Could be. In safari, flash loads as a separate process, and I'm seeing it randomly shoot up over 100% CPU.
