gecko-mediaplayer as Flash Alternative for YouTube
Flash on amd64 is a bit of a burden and I don't need it anymore because I mostly used it for youtube. Not that you can't download the video with filsh.net and watch it with mplayer or vlc but it's inconvenient.
An alternative solution for this is www/gecko-mediaplayer. For embedded videos you are already done but for youtube you also need the Greasemonkey Add-On for Firefox and the Youtube without Flash Auto Greasemonkey script. If you are on a youtube site watch out for the new buttons "View without Flash" below the video.

works great for me.
but how do you handle other flash-videos like those on spiegel.de ...?
I guess you will have to write a Greasemonkey script for this.
