Topic: Firefox Crash: Full Screen mode - Show Back - Click Link

I can cause Firefox (3.03) to crash if I:

1) choose view full screen
2) show flip side while in full screen
3) click on the link (which is set to target of _blank)

(spaces become '.' in the above url)

as an example.

IE (6.0) shuts down full-screen, brings up the new browser window correctly (but after a very long lag time) and very slow response

Safari: Going to full screen is useless (locks up the system!)

Opera (9.25) - shuts down full screen and brings up the window (but the full screen performance is HORRID!)

Hi,

works here in FF3 on PC and Mac. Possibly there is some issue with Flash fullscreen mode on certain machines. You can disable fullscreen mode with the 'showFullscreenOption' cionfig option.

I'll have to determine what is the same in my two environments (home/work) because it crashes here at work also.

i've got four more systems at home I can check it out on though :-)
