Firefox, flash, snow leopard bug

THIS IS NOT A BUG THIS WILL HAPPEN ON WINDOWS TOO

I'm not sure if this is a Flash or a Firefox 3.6.6 problem because I updated both at the same time, but when I try to watch a .mpg video on firefox, before I updated them, the video would play in a box with controls, but now it fills the entire firefox window and when the video finishes playing, it will not let me leave the video (I switch tabs, pages, etc. but the last image on the video is still covering the window). But I can watch it perfectly on Safari. >:(

@sonic10158 I just downgraded to Firefox 3.5 and it seems to have fixed this weird problem!

I also have this problem. A real pain in my ass.

also happens with Silverlight for me. another workaround: hold down shift while you click the reload button in firefox.

Same here, thanks for Ctrl tip. I'll try it out.

I get this same behaviour, but I find that if I just press CTRL once it goes away.

Thanks a lot.

Simply right click on the flash object and start using it normally again.

You don't have to switch spaces... Simply right click.

You can do that by either using an external mouse, CTRL click, or using 2 fingers when tapping on the touchpad (if you have configured that).

Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

I started having this problem on Leopard, immediately after installing the latest firefox update.

same problem here

[wordsonplay]

Ah! Good to know I'm not the only one.

I also find that when I switch to a space containing several apps, the active window is not always the one on top.
