Re: Firefox 3.5 crashes when trying to view fullscreen videos

said by SUMware:

I just installed nspluginwrapper v1.2.2. Youtube flash now successfully plays in full screen.
I did the same thing, and it solved the problem for me as well! I have no idea why, to be honest, but YouTube works in full screen again! Thank you, all! Perhaps in a later update to Firefox, there may be a patch that solves this, and I can then remove/disable nspluginwrapper. Until then, this works for me!

Found another solution that works for me -

First uninstalled nspluginwrapper. Then added the following to '/usr/lib/firefox/firefox.sh'

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1

So the script went from this:

#!/bin/sh
#
# ***** BEGIN LICENSE BLOCK *****
# Version: MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1
 
to this:
#!/bin/sh
#
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
#
# ***** BEGIN LICENSE BLOCK *****
# Version: MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1
 
Works fine with full screen flash, as did nspluginwrapper. The only issue may be when upgrading Firefox. If the problem persists the above line will need to be re-added to a newly installed FF script.

I suspect that this is a new video related issue, not necessarily limited to Nvidia, perhaps stemming from FF 3.5 - HTML 5 capabilities.

Thanks a lot !
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 did it for me.
nspluginwrapper did not work.
