Videos on certain sites lock when in full screen, but still play sound in firefox

[Theatre-X]

Binary package hint: firefox

When viewing any video in full-screen on Youtube and CNN.com, videos will stop playing but the sound will be fine. The video will continue with the sound when blown back down to it's standard size. However, on Hulu.com and Facebook, the videos play fine. So I'm wondering if it has something to do with Flash. I don't have any problem with viewing the videos on Youtube and such in full-screen under the Opera web browser though.

Do you have compiz enabled ?

How would I check if I do? :)

Same problem here, I don't have compiz enabled. (ubuntu 10.10 32bit) it happens in laptop and my desktop also.

I am using 32 bit as well. I had no problem with this on my 64-bit machine. Hey Stevenson, how do I check to see if I have Compiz enabled?

outdated flavor, and firefox have had so many new releases.
