When I hit fullscreen on a flash video, it works the first time, but after that the video disappears while audio continues.
I am running firefox 30 on a fairly new installation of Fedora 20 on a HP Envy Touchsmart 15. I have the plugins to run flash videos installed. I also have noscript, adblock, and the default extension. When I run a flash video, it plays fine. Problem is, if I hit fullscreen, it only works one time after the browser has been restarted. After that one time, if you try to hit fullscreen again on any flash video, the video goes black and the audio continues. I have tried looking through the applications list and there is no video to click on and watch. The video seems to just disappear instead of going to fullscreen. I don't like other browsers, so I would like a permanent fix for this for firefox. Thank you.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences
Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.
I tried that, and I still have the same results. I have read around, and some people seem to blame the browser for this, and others the latest Gnome version. However, the ones who say that the latest Gnome version is to blame say that there is supposed to be a fullscreen window to be found in the activities menu. I have scoured the menu and not found any window to click, so I think it is the browser. The strange thing is if I restart the browser, the window will fullscreen like it is supposed to exactly one time. After that once, the glitch is back. I wonder what could be causing that?
