Firefox crashes when trying to watch full screen video
« on: October 05, 2010, 08:12:26 PM »
Hi All,
I am running TC 3.1 and have Firefox and flash installed.
Everything seems to work fine when watching an online video, until I try to view it in full screen mode.
When I try to view a video in full screen mode, the screen goes beige and FF crashes.

Any ideas on how to overcome this problem?

Your help is much appreciated.

It appears that flashplayer full screen mode depends on multiple factors:
e.g.:
  • browser
  • window manager
  • flashplayer version
  • server side implementation

Here is a possible workaround:

Here's an example for the interdependence of flashplayer and wm versions:
