The video just flashes for seconds and then fades to a green box (similar to those ESRB backgrounds when watching 17+ game trailers) with sounds still playing. Every video site like youtube and youku I visit has had the same issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a video site such as youtube.
2. Select a video and watch in fullscreen mode.
3. After several minutes (seems to be random) it happens.
Actual Results:  
The video fades to a green background with nothing else on it an the sounds still playing.

Expected Results:  
The video plays normally.

IE & Chrome also have the same problem after I installed a latest version of nVidia driver for my graphic card (nV GF8400M GS).

I'm closing a lot of bugs which are filed as Adobe Flash bugs which are either irrelevant, not actionable, or not serious enough to track in the Mozilla bug tracker. For the most part, Flash bugs should be filed in Adobe bugbase, and we'll only track a few highly-critical issues in the Mozilla tracker.
