When a page that uses the Windows Media Player (WMP) plugin leaves fullscreen
mode, the parent window is no longer responsive.  Mozilla or Firefox process
must be killed through task manager.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/machinist/trailers.php
2.Click one of the links for the theatrical trailer.
3.Wait for the flash ad to complete
4.Once the Windows Media movie trailer starts, right click it and select
Fullscreen.   (You can skip ahead to near the end of the trailer if you don't
want to watch the whole thing)
5.Wait for fullscreen video to complete
6.Close parent window

Actual Results:  
Windows doesn't allow the parent window to close.   It just makes a 'ding' sound.

Expected Results:  
Window closes.  Video fullscreen mode exited properly.

The mozilla process must be killed manually via the task manager.
