Re: Firefox 3.5 crashes when trying to view fullscreen videos
said by T0rn  :Go to any video on YouTube.com, and click on the fullscreen button. For me, this crashes straight to the desktop, with no error messages or reloading of the web browser. Yep on openSUSE 11.1 32 bit. You running Nvidia like me? Some think it to be a hardware acceleration/Nvidia issue: »forums.adobe.com/thread/226235

I, too, have a Nvidia video card, but what is strange to me is that this never happened until I upgraded to Firefox 3.5. I have been using the same Nvidia drivers the whole time.

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!

1 edit | 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:
to this:
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. |

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