whenever I attempt to watch a video of any sort full screen on Firefox my screen turns white but I can hear the video playing.
When viewing pics or videos in FireFox, when screen is enlarged to full screen, page turns white. While I can still hear audio, no picture. I have seen similar posting in problem questions, but solutions have all been closed out.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

I have exactly the same problem. Even after having downloaded and installed mozilla and adope flash a second time!
I have same problem when watching web video and going to full screen it turns white. Audio is still good. If I hit escape all goes back to viewing the video okay. It occurs in Firefox 6.3 & 6.8.3, Internet Explorer 8, and Google Chrome. Windows Media Player WILL go to full screen okay.
I wished I could submit 2 pics: one of video and 1 of the white screen. But I can't so I'm just sending the white screen pic

I found a solution yesterday: If you have installed the new firefox (6.8.3) and the new adobe flash, open a video and go to the regulations of adobe flash. Then klick on the hardware acceleration so that it is off. Done :-)
THANKS to the original poster of A solution. It worked for me. I am using XPSP3 ( and ALL Updates) with HP W2207 Monitor and Drivers. Also Display adapter (NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 100/200 (MS Corp)
Going to the Display Properties (Desktop - right click) - Settings - Advanced - Troubleshoot - Hardware Acceleration - Move slider to NONE - Click OK.
Actually I just restored Hardware Acceleration and ALL is still working OK. But I have not rebooted XP NOR restarted Firefox as of yet. I will do both and let you know after I reboot pc.
I found that 40% acceleration was the maximum that it would continually work after a reboot of my pc.
