Issues with Flash playback, in Firefox.

Hi,

I have noticed some issues with Flash player in Firefox.

Videos playing in Flash player, flashes so that I see the background about once or twice a second unless I engage full screen.

When I engage fullscreen and later go back, selecting fullscreen a second time shows a full screen blackbox with only audio. The only way to resolve the issue is to reload the web page.

Sometimes going back from full screen makes the OS X stop light buttons in the upper left corner disapper.

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion. Having tried this, it doesn't change this issue unfortunately. I beleive that it's specific to Firefox because I have not seen this in other browsers when using Flash, native HTML video players doesn't have this problem though as far as I have noticed so far.
