Bug Description
Hello,
I am having a very strange issue. It seems that the flash player always crashes when I try to watch a fullscreen video on YouTube. It always happens a few seconds after I am in full screen mode. The whole screen freezes and the only thing that I can do to fix this is to switch to another workspace (since I am still in fullscreen mode, I can't access the desktop in the current one) and kill the plugin-container process. When I just watch a video without switching to full screen, everything works just nice and without any issues.
Now I am not sure if this is entirely Firefox related, but it's the only browser where this happens. On Chrome/Chromium I don't witness this at least. I hope this is the right location to report it!
Information about my system:
Ubuntu version: 12.10 - 64 bit (but this also happened during 12.04!)
Firefox version: 16.0.2
Flash plugin version: 11.2.202.243

Right, small update: Seems to only happen with the 11.2 version of the Flash plugin. I don't have this problem on Google Chrome, with the latest 11.5 version of Flash.
I also have this problem with different kinds of hardware. I wrote this report on my laptop, which has a AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4650 video card. But just recently I also installed Ubuntu on my desktop PC, which has an nVidia GeForce 9600 GT. So it doesn't seem to be related to a certain driver or something.
