If it's mozilla-firefox 3.6 then you can play html5 video but only in ogg format. Youtube is using webM now which was introduced in firefox 4. Video in browsers does seem rather resource hungry. Something to do with working out where to render what, I suspect but could be way off the mark. Iplayer is terrible on a decent system I use for mythtv running flash and linux, though improvements in a more recent nvidia driver than the one from the repos makes up for some of it's inefficiency, itvplayer isn't so bad though. The good news, webm is in it's infancy and should get better and better unlike flash.
