I stream movies and tv shows using the websites Netflix.com and Hulu.com, when I have it in full screen mode, firefox automaticly and without reason exits full screen mode. I dont have any screen saver on or anything like it, it just goes back to the smaller view. i was hoping someone had an answer for this problem.

full screen mode on Netflix or Hulu, Firefox drops out of full screem by itself:

Try this

  1. Update Flash to latest version

  2. Bring up a Flash Video
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?index=39&feature=BF&v=lfkbx_PETjE&list=PL05CEC01F9F371A3D
  3. Click with movie to pause movie
  4. Right-click within the movie,
  5. Choose pop out
  6. Make the window as large as possible by moving the borders, just in case it drops full screen
  7. Click on full screen on the symbol lower right corner

That appears to be what I had success with, I'm not connected to external monitor.

  1. If movie is not playing click to start
  2. Click on Full screen symbol

One of the tags says desktop, and I didnt put that in there, I am using a Dell laptop. Does that make any diference? also the site that the video went to was a You Tube video, and I don't often use that site. I did however update to the latest Flash version, so I will try that. If that doesn't work tho do you have any other suggestions?
