Problem with Firefox and youtube videos
 

Installed Suse 11.0. Firefox version 3.0b5 beta comes installed, and youtube videos work fine. They also work fine in Full screen mode.

So I install the latest version of firefox into my home folder and run it from there. I install all of the exact same plugins that the beta has. Youtube videos work, but as soon as I hit the button to view in full screen mode, firefox quits. It just shuts down completely. I have the exact same issue on my laptop as well.

I don't think it is a problem with plugins. Like I said, videos work fine, until I hit the 'Full Screen' button. They work in Beta, but not in Firefox 3.04

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Thanks !

I suggest that you run Firefox from a console so that any errors are reported to there. That may then provide you with information which allows you to work out the actual cause of your problems.

OK I did that. There is a lot of output. As soon as I try to resize to full screen, this is what I get on the console:

It's actually too much to post. Way over 25,000 characters. Could it have anything to do with the fact that I have 2 instances of firefox on my system? The original beta installed in the root folder and the latest version installed in my home directory?

There is another forum thread that talked about hardware acceleration in the flash plugin:

See if that fixes your issue.

Hey thanks PresGas. That got it solved. I appreciate the help.
