Im on SL and just until yesterday safari started freezing when i go to the youtube homepage or hulu, i didnt instal anything new, it just happened now all the time. whats going on?
 
Just tonight I've started having the same issue. Was watching a flash video on ESPN.com and it froze halfway through and crashed Safari. Now any use of flash crashes the browser. Firefox too.
 
Seem to have solved the problem here... Repaired permissions, lots of stuff showed up related to flash player. Still had the problem. Restarted, now everything seems to be normal again.

Ha ha... I usually tell people repairing permissions and restarting are probably not going to help whatever issue they are having... but seems like that's just what was needed here.

I did that yesterday it helped for a few hours and started again
 
Try to re-install flash player.

I did that and it doesnt help, do you have the same problem? the problem is the flash plugin, i removed it from the plugins folder and safari didnt crash or freeze but no flash.. so why did it only started to happen two days ago?? :confused:
 
Safari and Firefox are both crashing for me when I go to youtube. Repaired permissions, and now Safari will access the Youtube page, but a search for a video will crash the browser.
 
No I don't have this problem, I was on YouTube for hours yesterday and no crashes. Very strange problem you have.
 
I am now having the freezing issue with youtube. As soon as I get to youtube.com home page it instantly freezes safari... Anyone else RECENTLY having this issue?
