You may need to "update" the Flash player plugin, though the most recent one that you can use, probably v9, is outdated.
Any G3 is not going to handle Flash video very well, even some G4s struggle with Flash video.
Ubuntu does not officially support Power PC anymore, but there are unofficial builds for PPC, though you'll likely need an older build for a G3. Not everything will work though, for instance there is no Flash player build for PPC.
There is a Mac section in the Ubuntu forums that is a good source of information about PPC Ubuntu. Also if you find a build that will run on your G3 iMac you might want to try one of the lighter desktops like XFCE, the Gnome & KDE desktops are more system intensive. There are also lighter linux builds such as Puppy linux but I don't know if any of them support PPC.
