Description Benjamin McCann 2010-02-14 20:33:26 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

When playing Flash videos full screen, they very frequently appear behind everything else including the browser.  Shutting down Firefox and the restarting it fixes this problem.  Firefox usually has to be restarted after each video watched.  This problem is easily reproducible on hulu.com

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Watch multiple videos in full screen mode at hulu.com

I think it is a generic flash problem, it also happens in other browsers.

Comment 2 Benjamin McCann 2010-04-03 23:35:49 UTC

This is a pretty annoying and extremely noticeable problem.  I'm upping the priority so that hopefully someone can take a look.

old openSUSE version, flash-player is phased out on openSUSE
