Bug Description

UPSTREAM BUG:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1825

------------------------------------------------------

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

While watching a flash video in firefox on one monitor, I click click "Full-Screen"
I click over to another window on a different monitor, and it un-full-screens

Can you please leave the video full-screen unless I click that screen?

Thanks!

The proprietary Flash plugin is no longer being updated by upstream. Can this bug report be closed as wontfix?
