Firefox crashes when I watch a yt video after I click away from it when it is in full screen.
Whenever I enter full screen on any video (yt, and other video formats) it crashes everytime...EVERYTIME I click away from it weather it be on a different window windows task bar anything outside the video. It crashes even if I use shortcuts to get to a different window. Why is it doing this? I get no crash report my computer just freezes and then I have to go into task manager and end tasks and restart firefox. It is really annoying because I have 2 monitors and I can't do anything else without firefox crashing. Any help would be AWESOME! :)

Hardware acceleration is off.
Modified by 1longtimeuser
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
Have you tried to update your Flash Player Version 17.0.0.134

Yes, I have tried all of the traditional "fixes". I have turned off hardware acceleration so I will try working with this for a little bit and see if it fixes it. I will keep you posted. Thanks
Having Hardware Acceleration off seems to help decrease the amount of crashes I get by a lot. I do have some crashes but I think I will just be using Chrome to watch videos and use firefox for everything else. Thank you very much for the help!! :)
