Openbox + Fullscreen Youtube in Firefox = crash

Dethredic · 2010-01-12 19:58:17

So, if I try to watch full screen youtube videos in firefox, it just instantly crashes. Anyone else have this problem?

I CAN watch full screen youtube videos in midori
It also happens in swiftfox (special firefox build)

I have a nVidia card.

There is a terminal output thing when it crashes that I will post in a couple hours, but from what I remember when I skimmed it (it was really long) it didn't seem helpful.

Any output would be helpful. I have noticed in firefox with fullscreen flash (arch x86_64) That it can seem kinda laggy... I though have 8 gigs of memory? How much memory do you have? I now use xbmc with Youtube script and plays fullscreen amazing! I also use huludesktop for hulu as well. Both do wonders if you interested and getting the flash away from firefox and fullscreen!? That is just my two cents on it. i don't know about the crashing though.

I have two gigs (and am only using 12%). As I stated above I can watch youtube fullscreen in Midori (another browser).

Terminal output will arrive in 2 hours. (work couldn't be slower today...)

Yea for as long as I can remember there is always some issue with flash and firefox. Have you tried using opensource versions of flash by anychance?

EDIT: How is firefox and flash without fullscreen?

Firefox and flash without fullscreen is just fine. I think I might have found a work around:

I will report back when I get to try that out.
