FF7 / Windown 7 Taskbar floats above fullscreen Flash video

Since upgading to FF7, the Windows 7 taksbar floats above fullscreen Flash video.
I've updated to FF 7.01, updated the Flash player to 10.3.183.10, disabled all other plugins and extensions, and the problem persists.
For the moment, I have to autohide the taksbar in Windows when watching fullscreen video.
Happens on YouTube and Vimeo and all other video sites I've tested.

Found a fix. It was something to do with my DPI settings in Windows.

'''Right click on your Firefox icon (not the one in your task bar), if it's not on your desktop, find it in the Mozilla Firefox program folder.
After right clicking, select Properties, then the Compatibility tab, then check the box that says Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
That's it. I'm now back to using 200% DPI and have no problems with fullscreen videos. What a pain in the ass! '''

[Solved] On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening.

On fullscreen flash videos (like on YouTube) there is a black bar on the right side of the screen, and I must click slightly to the right of onscreen buttons instead of directly on them while this is happening. It's like I should click where they should be, not where they are. The exact same problem happens on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer. It also happens on some games I installed like, "Crysis".

Nevermind, I solved the problem by downloading this:

Try adding

That still seems to work for me. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117875

Choppy Fullscreen flash video

Hello,
I have a late 2012 21.5 inch base model iMac. And for some time now flash video has been choppy in fullscreen in both Google Chrome and Safari. It wasn't always so, when I bought the iMac last year in December it was working fine.
I tried reinstalling the flash player plugin but with no effect. Sometimes fullscreen video works fine, other times it is not. Sometimes putting chrome in fullscreen mode then making the video fullscreen improves performance, sometimes it does not.
I also have Windows 7 in Boot Camp and fullscreen flash videos (like youtube) work flawlessly all the time.
I checked the forums for different solutions, none work. One idea was to make sure that the dedicated graphics card is actually working and not the integrated one, but the new iMac does not even have an integrated card, just the dedicated one.
I have no overheating problems and as far as I can tell only flash video has a problem.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I also found a solution that works for me. I completley uninstalled Flash from my Mac. I couldn't happier with the results. My Macbook Pro Battery life is more than doubled, It is no longer ever too hot place on my lap. My fan/s almost never come on anymore.
I use Safari as my main browser. Most sites detect my lack of Flash and convert video and adds to HTML just fine. Netflix works fine on it since it works off Siverlight. If I do need to visit a sight that requires Flash, (hulu) I just open it in Chrome which has Flash built into it. Visiting Flash sites on Chrome by the way is the only time my Mac gets hot and requires the fans to come on. Best fix I've ever done for my Mac. Litterally everything I do or run my Mac is faster and smoother. I no longer have sticking or spinning balls waits while flash decides if it needs to be working for this for whatever process or app I'm trying to use. Life on my Mac has been grand since Flash got the boot.

Using Chrome beta, fullscreen flash videos not fullscreening Chrome

└─> yinfo google-chrome-beta
Name : google-chrome-beta
Version : 24.0.1312.35-1
Some recent update seems to have done this: http://i.imgur.com/IspAE.png Hitting fullscreen on a flash video will make it fullscreen within Chrome, but Chrome stays windowed, resulting in video cut off at bottom and also, Youtube doesn't auto-720p+ when hitting fullscreen on the video as it's still registering it being in windowed mode I think.
If I hit F11 first, then fullscreen the video, it's fine, but I'd like to have it back to auto-fullscreen. (In my settings>privacy>content settings>fullscreen, I do have youtube.com allowed as an exception). Also I opted out of the HTML5 trial on Youtube, and this affects all flash whether youtube, twitch, etc. Thanks for any help!

Have you tried downgrading libxcursor?

Firefox returns to regular view when I pause a fullscreen flash video

Hi,
I have a very annoying problem with Firefox.
Whenever I view a flash video fullscreen and then I pause it, it switches off to regular view after a few seconds. Safari or *shudder* Chrome doesn't do this at all.
Anyone know why its doing this?
P.S. I tried disabling ALL of my addons but it still has that problem. I even tried reinstalling Firefox while deleting the old one and starting from scratch....that didn't go over so well either. Wish I saved my bookmarks at least. ouch...

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Fullscreen Flash Video Issues

On all browsers it seems that flash videos from certain sites (not youtube) will fullscreen initially and then only populate the top left quadrant with video. My flash is up to date and so are my browsers.

Check the Adobe forum area. There could be other Mac users with the same issues. Solution would be found there if any.

Choppy fullscreen flash video playback

When I enter fullscreen in many flash videos, the videos get choppy. This is true across different browsers. It happens on different web sites, but not with the exact same symptoms. Some web sites' videos will work in fullscreen if I recently opened the browser, while others consistently are choppy in fullscreen. For example, youtube or hulu will work if I recently opened safari, but mlb.tv will consistently be choppy.
All of my software is up to date. I've tried repairing my disk permissions. I've downloaded shockwave for 64 bit. I've tried downloading the most recent beta of flash, but it didn't work, so I downgraded to the most recent official version. None of it has worked.
Please help!

How can I remove the flash icon from my taskbar when I fullscreen a video (Picture inside)

I have dual monitors and watch videos on my left screen, I don't have this problem with Chrome and it is the only thing putting me off making the Switch.
It is incredibly minor but it's make or break for me, please help /r/Firefox
Here's a picture of my problem, sorry for the size.

If you right click on the icon on the taskbar you can select "Unpin this program from the taskbar"

Firefox Freezed by Fullscreen Flash Video (and trouble with Flash Video Settings)

I have a desktop computer with integrated nvidia graphics card and a notebook with integrated ati graphics card.
Both use Linux with Firefox 3.0.8 with Flash Player 10.22
If I use fullscreen in laptop(ati) no problem at all. In the desktop station(nvidia) if it is an embed video firefox freezes completely and I have to kill firefox. If I go to the original website of the video, no problem at all.
Wanted to try to deactivate hardware acceleration as stated in some forums, but no luck. Both computers when I right click a select settings, window opens but I can't do nothing at all, not even close them. I can only close (normaly) firefox to reopen it.

As it turns out, Skype also crashes if I try to use video - so I'm forced to confront the possibility that the problem is actually with my PC, or the updates windows has just installed.

Flash videos maximising to massive dimension

Hi - any flash video in Safari on my vista 64 setup plays fine for me in a normal window, but when I maximise it (either on a site like youtube or here http://www.flashcomguru.com/apps/fullscreen_player9/fullscreen.html for example) the dimensions max right out, so I only see the top left quarter or so of the original video. I have the latest flash version installed (9.0 r124 - according to my plug-ins page) but this problem was happening prior to that too. Running fullscreen flash videos in firefox works absolutely fine.. I have tried unchecking hardware acceleration in the macromedia settings. One thing I'm thinking could be related is my screen dimension which is 2560x1600. I also have my dpi set really high, to 259, because I use my monitor in my lounge room as my tv etc... It's like safari thinks my screen's even bigger though. I just love the way safari renders pages and want to continue using it, but this is proving a deal breaker for me! Any advice greatly welcomed.

just another program glitch safari is not to hot with plug ins yet let hope something happens quickly, I am only using it at the moment because it is the only thing that runs properly on my comp but once i get round to fixing it back to another browser

Flash Video Under Dropdown Menu problem

I have been consistently affect by this problem for the last few days. I have a menu that needs to dropdown above the flash video. The problem is that the dropdown appears behind the flash and cannot be clicked. I have narrowed it down to some sort of implementation of the wmode="transparent" but this is not easy.
The code I got to work was
[CODE]
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="someID" width="632" height="220">
<param name="movie" value="http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-57905738662791/main.swf">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="name" value="someValue">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-57905738662791/main.swf" width="632" height="220">

<img src="preview.gif" alt="Preview">
<p>Download the flash player</p>

<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="name" value="someValue">
</object>

</object>
[/CODE]
In internet explorer this code allows the flash file to be behind the menu. But not for Firefox (3.5) Unfortunately, when I add the required [CODE]<embed>[/CODE] tags to the object and make the flash video appear behind the firefox menu, the link in the video no longer works. Because there is a single link within the flash video we use.
PS. the code above was copied and tweak from a flash tutorial site. So I will not take the credit as my own.
My site is http://www.superbreakers.net
If you check out the site you'll see what I mean and what I need.

I solved the problem and posted the solution here.

I can't see my taskbar anymore in fullscreen mode while watching flash videos. how do I fix this?

I used to be able to see my taskbar while watching flash videos full screen. now I can't. I end up missing messages and worse yet, the low battery warning on screen and my computer shuts down. I have firefox 24.0.

Hi, I don't know how much help this screenshot is going to be but here goes. I used to be able to play flash videos full screen and see my taskbar on the bottom. Last week I think (not really sure, since it updates itself) there was a flash update. After the update, when I make the videos fullscreen, my taskbar disappears. Now I have to come out of fullscreen and check for the battery life and messages constantly. There's no "on top" setting for the taskbar in windows 7 but it is set to lock.

Choppy Flash video/audio in fullscreen. Fix!

I've been banging my head against the wall for 24 hours now and this works for me.
I have an old MacBook Pro, 10.6.8, newest version of Chrome, Safari and Firefox, and a new Focusrite USB audio interface (Scarlett 2i2).
Installed the newest Flash player (11 something) and the Focusrite yesterday and everything went bad. Choppy fullscreen video, no audio in Chrome etc etc. So anyway, now it's all fine:
MAC/FLASH: Choppy video, no audio FIX.
1. UNINSTALL FLASH PLAYER. It *****. And it gobbles CPU power.
2. Bin the whole Macromedia folder from ~/Library/Preferences.
3. USE CHROME FOR FLASH SITES (has built in flash player - close Chrome when not in use to shut its flash player, to save CPU power).
4. ALSO: Have a USB audio interface? AUDIO MIDI SETUP: 44.1kHz OUTPUT.
That's it. Everything is now smooth in fullscreen in Chrome, and great audio through the Focusrite box.
*fingers crossed*

Does removing flash have any affect on the other browsers?
Yes - flash videos will not play in other browsers. Chrome has built-in flash so it still works.
However some YouTube videos will (after 2 seconds or so) detect that you don't have flash and default to H264 playback which seems to work fine.
I've now been using Chrome only for flash palyback for a couple of weeks and it works fine if you follow the steps above.
Last point - I often have to set Youtube to something lower than HD playback. Maybe just an internet speed thing.

Taskbar problem at fullscreen

Hi,
my application starts with an autostart delay after windows booting. Sometimes the taskbar is visible when flash runs in fullscreens, just at start of the application . Are there any typical reasons that can lead to this problem?
TIA

Did you fix that problem???
I got exactly the same one and would need an idea!
Many thanks
