Firefox for Mac: accidentally disabled full screen Flash video for Yahoo. How to reenable??

I was looking at a video on screen.yahoo.com, and that annoying "Now entering full screen... allow/don't allow" (paraphrasing) dialog came up at the top. I must have inadvertently selected the option to disable, because now when I click the fullscreen icon at the lower right part of the video, nothing happens at all. No full screen, no annoying dialog. Nothing.
As per other posts on this forum from people who have had this problem, I have tried the following:
• Deleted ALL Flash Player settings in my Mac's System Preferences
• Gone to about:permissions in Firefox and set Fullscreen to ALLOW for all Yahoo URLs
• Deleted all COOKIES for domain yahoo.com
I have also quit and rebooted Firefox after having done these things. Alas, I go back to the video on screen.yahoo.com, click the fullscreen icon in the video frame, and still get nothing.
I'm stumped. This seems to be a heavy price to pay for accidentally clicking the wrong button one time. Sort of a Zero Tolerance Policy approach to video settings... Any other ideas about how I can restore this functionality??
Thanks!

You can hover the image.
That should make a delete X appear.
You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

  • Firefox kills aero in Win 7 when playinf full screen flash videos.

    I have recently installed nvidia 3d vision on my compoter. now when I click on a fullscreen button when watching flash videos like YT, the aero effect in Win 7 is disabled and does no return untill I turn FF off. FF4 and 3.6 has the same problem. Everything is OK in other browsers. I tried to disable the 3d vision plugins but it does not help.

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

  • Full screen Flash video is extremely slow

    I have a 2010 27" iMac with an ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card. Full screen Flash video (e.g., Hulu) is extremely slow and choppy on it (4-5 frames per second). Full screen Quicktime or HTML5 video is fine. On my previous iMac (2008, 24", NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS), full screen Flash video is smooth as silk. I realize my current video card is low- to mid-range, but should that really matter? I'm not sure if this is a video card issue, or something else. Here's a list of other things I've tried:
    Other web browsers
    Uninstalled and reinstalled the current version Flash
    Uninstalled and reinstalled an older version of Flash
    Installed Shockwave
    Disabled hardware acceleration
    Reinstalled Mac OS X Snow Leopard
    As much as Apple wants to distance itself from Flash, I would be really shocked if a modern iMac was incapable of doing what a 3-year old iMac could do effortlessly. Anyone else have any ideas, or do I just need to upgrade my video card?

    in youtube one can choose various level of resolutions
    like hd or sd and the hd's are in various levels of high resolutions
    if performance is the issue the first place I would look would be the resolution of

  • Mouse back/forward buttons don't respond after exiting from full screen Flash video

    Yeah. Has anyone else encountered this? After viewing a full
    screen video (YouTube, Hulu) and exiting (via the ESC button), the
    back and foward buttons on my mouse stop responding. Really!
    Usually I will have to go back into a full-screen video twice for
    the buttons to get "stuck," and then it takes them several minutes
    to regain their functionality.
    I've had this going on for over a year now, and I'm finally
    sick of it enough to where I want to get some help. I've narrowed
    it down to the Flash player as being the culprit, and it happens on
    every browser I've tried it on (Firefox 3: RC2, RC1, Beta5; Firefox
    2; IE7; IE6; Safari 3.x). This started happening when I upgraded
    the Flash Player and the first offending version would be the one
    that introduced the current full screen Flash video technology. I'm
    guessing it was 9.0.
    I have a Logitech MediaPlay wireless mouse, Win XP SP2. I
    have the latest version of Flash and the most up-to-date mouse
    drivers.

    I have the same exact problem, only a different model
    Logitech. Have you found a solution? Thanks, Shawn.

  • "Full screen" flash video

    Hi,
    On this example page I have a few flv videos:
    http://www.oppnakanalenvaxjo.se/filmer/
    I'd like to have the option of watching these videos in a
    larger player as well. How can I include a button that when the
    user clicks it the player is enlarged to full scale, in this case
    720 x 576 px?
    I'm using Flash 8 Professional.
    Thanks!

    Right clicking on a flash video (say in iPlayer) and selecting "hardware acceleration" and increasing the amount of memory Flash may use makes no difference: in activity monitor, the Flash plug in is still maxed out and the video stutters as before.

  • What video converter app for mac would you suggest to convert videos for ipad mini?

    Just recently got myself ipad mini and want to fill it up with movies. i have some but they have wrong format. And i don't know which format is the best for ipad mini(

    iPad Mini supports .m4v, .mov, .mp4, and some of .avi files with Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) codec.
    Generally, you can choose to convert files to MP4 format using utilities like Handbrake, Format Factory, etc. They are all free.
    I have get a PS3 and iPad 2 years ago, sometimes I need to convert files to AVI for my PS3, so I choose a professional converter called AppGeeker. (while handbrake only output mkv and mp4 format, and FF reduces amount of quality of video)
    it works marvelosly for me.

  • Maintaining proportions with full screen flash

    hi, I have a flash site set up that allows a mc in the
    background containing various images to always take up the full
    browser window while the foreground elements remain unchanged. What
    I would like to do is keep the background images from distorting
    when the window is resized...a good example of this is on
    redtettemer.com - it maintains proportions and just cuts off at the
    bottom or side if it would cause any distortion.
    this is the current code I have on frame 1:
    Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
    Stage.align = "TL";
    var stageListener:Object = new Object ();
    stageListener.onResize = positionContent;
    Stage.addListener(stageListener);
    function positionContent():Void {
    portfolio_bg._width = Stage.width;
    portfolio_bg._height = Stage.height;
    positionContent();
    can anyone help with this?
    thanks

    No, like cberube said, the graphics aren't corrupt/garbled at all.
    The frame rate of the flash video when full screened is the problem here. It has to be something related to OSX and the Adobe Flash player built into the browser. I tried this in both Safari and Firefox to isolate the browser as a variable in the problem.
    No matter the quality of the flash vid (it could be an HD TV show from hulu, or it could be some crappy youtube vid) the frame rate will drop massively if you select full screen, but return to normal "smooth" rate when you exit full screen. The only way to fix this is to uncheck "Enable Hardware acceleration" by right clicking on the flash video and entering the flash player settings within the browser.
    This is only a work-around as unchecking hardware acceleration means your CPU must now work harder to render the graphics since it seems the OSX on-board graphics unit isn't capable of handling it. Normally, if this happened, OSX would activate the NVIDIA gpu which should be more than capable of rendering a full screen flash video without breaking a sweat. This doesn't seem to be occurring though.
    Hopefully this is a clearer description of the problem.

  • Monitor is blank white when trying to view full screen youtube video.

    I have an HP w2207h widescreen flat-panel Monitor. When I try to view videos ONLINE, such as YouTube, in full screen mode, the screen goes to a blank white screen. Audio works, no picture. However, when I view the same YouTube video in Internet Explorer everything works fine. Is there a setting I need to put in to fix this? Would appreciate your help!

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

    No harm here. Apple does not frequent this site, but only maintains it for user to user communication, so even a left handed comment directed at Apple gets misconstrued as directed at users. I too would like to see things like simple rotation imbedded within the Photo app, but will not hold my breath waiting for it.
    There are certainly more things right with iPad than wrong, so get busy enjoying, and check updates every now and then

    I have had my mac book pro for about a year and a half and suddenly my dvd player will not play DVDs and i can not play alot of things on full screen. Does anybody know how i can fix this?

    This could be several things, but let's get the obvious ones out of the way, first:
    1. Judging from your text, there's no problem with anything stuck in the mechanism; it's more an issue of no being to put in a disk. In other words, you're sure that there isn't a disk stuck in your MBP. (That happens a lot for all computers.)
    2. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, and repair the disk. This should take under 10 minutes.
    3. Perform the procedure outlined here:

    4. After you're done, leave a message here as to the status of the repair.

  • Flash video in Full Screen, missing video controls

    In the latest version of firefox 17, when i switch flash videos to full screen, the video doesnt show the video controls, which allow you to play/ pause the video or see how much time of the video has gone. It is there when i press back and return to the minimized version.. but for some videos when you minimize after full screen the video starts showing several colours instead of the video.

    Update, This issue is still happening in the latest version of Firefox for android. Please check it up.

  • Disable full screen safari on iPhone

    After upgrading to iOS 7, I noticed that the toolbar disappears in safari while browsing.  I am a heavy user of the back button and the bookmarks button.  Both of them only require a single touch to use in iOS 6.  Now that the toolbar disappears, if I want to use the back button, I either have swipe completely left to right or swipe down to get the toolbar back so I can use the back button.  For the bookmarks button, I have to swipe down to bring back the toolbar and then I can use it.  Alternatively, I can try to chicken peck the bottom of the screen with the hopes that the toolbar will reappear.  If I use this alternative approach, sometimes it works, sometimes nothing happens, and sometimes I hit an ad by mistake. 
    Is there a way to disable full screen mode in safari on iPhone?  I will gladly give up the additional real estate to have a persistent toolbar.  It works better with the way I browse.

    Try this app. I've used it for a year or so and it takes full screen pics. It doesnt offer a ton of advanced functionality but it works. It also allows users to take photos by tapping anywhere on the screen (which was my original reason for downloading).  Enjoy

  • Disable Full Screen Mode

    I've finally gotten my mother-in-law comfortable with her Mac and now Full Screen Mode has thrown her for a loop.  She will inadvertently go into Full Screen and then never remembers how to get out of it. 
    Is there a way to set System Preferences so that none of the applications will go into full screen mode?

    I can't find one either, like many new Lion features this only gets activated by accident and its a struggle each time to make it go away.
