Cannot Fullscreen Firefox After 3.5 Upgrade

**Chuchaqui** · July 25th, 2009

Hello,

I upgraded Firefox to 3.5 the other day and today I can't seem to fullscreen online videos (at least from youtube and hulu). This is the error message I get when I run Firefox in terminal.

Code:

rob@rick-desktop:~$ firefox-3.5

From what little of this I understand it looks like it may not be a problem with Ubuntu and this forum may not be the appropriate location for this message. That being said, if that's the case if someone could tell me a more appropriate place to report this problem.

Cheers

**Editorial**
In case this has anything to do with it:

Firefox Version: 3.5.1
Flash Version: 10.0.22.87
Graphics Card: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)

What method did you use to upgrade to Firefox 3.5? Did you upgrade by adding a repository, try to compile it, or grab a binary? How did you install Flash?

**Chuchaqui** · July 25th, 2009

I've had flashed installed for I don't know how long no this computer with no previous problems with it. I don't think I had to update it or anything when I switched to Firefox-3.5. I think I originally installed flash with ubuntu-restricted extras or just with Firefox itself, not sure which :s .

I installed Firefox-3.5 with synaptic.
