Re: Firefox 3.5 crashes when trying to view fullscreen videos

I had this very issue with FF 3.0 on Gentoo. It only happened on YouTube videos when trying to maximize the video, but it happened every time. I reported a bug on the Gentoo bug tracker and they seemed to think there was a bug in Flash and that there was nothing that could be done. However, I haven't had the problem at all on Fedora or Ubuntu with the same versions of FF. So, who knows? I know this isn't much help.

Are you using 64 bit OS's? Are you using nspluginwrapper or the native 64 bit flash? I ask because I know Ubuntu will install 32 bit Flash even if using a 64 bit system. Therefore, it might be worth trying to get the 64 bit Flash binary from Adobe's site.

Both my Ubuntu and openSUSE are 32-bit. If it is a Flash-related bug, then how come all was fine with Firefox 3.0 on both distros, yet once I upgraded to Firefox 3.5 on both distros, this problem occurs?
