Steps to reproduce:

1. Opened YouTube in Nightly using FlashBlock extension.
2. Started movie by clicking on Flashblock arrowhead.
3. Watched about thirty seconds of movie
4. Switched to full screen using appropriate YouTube icon.


Actual results:

1. Entire screen (NEC 2190UXp on nVidia Quadro FX1800) turned white and Flash icon appeared on Win 7/64-bit taskbar. Please see link.

2. After awhile an error message appeared saying I could re-start FF, go back to where I was, or do something else. Sorry, I don't remember what the third choice was. I decided to go back to where I was.

3. I got back to the YouTube page I had been on. The movie window had a Flash error in it that said I could reload the page, which I did.

4. I started the movie again, watched a few seconds, and then tried full screen again. It worked without a problem. I was able to watch the movie in full screen till the end.

5. When the movie ended, the YouTube "iconed suggestions" page came up with icon links to other movies. 

6. When I clicked one of them, the movie immediately opened in full screen and started, by-passing the Flash-block arrow. There was no crash, and I was able to watch the movie in full screen till the end. I didn't try to repeat this part of the process.

I repeated this procedure at least half a dozen times with different movies.


Expected results:

After starting the (first) movie and clicking the full-screen icon, I should have been able to watch the movie in full-screen view.

Edit: I repeated this procedure at least half a dozen times with different movies. The result was the same every time.
