Full screen option not working in Firefox - Facebook applications

please mention the applications name .

Sorry about that

it's the Facebook applications:
Farmtown
BarnBuddy
Farmville

Just tried with YouTube aswell, can't get full screen.

Good ol farmtown / farmville

anyhoo

Can you please provide the output of:

uname -a

As well as detail how you installed flash?

They run fine here so hopefully we can get you on track.

Thanks

Hi actionparsnip

uname -a output:

Linux tanya-laptop 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

I installed flash using sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree via terminal

Hope this helps

OK so you are running 32bit Ubuntu so this is fine.
What happens when you fullscreen the game?

Hi there
it full-screens for about 2 seconds and then returns to normal screen.

HI

Can you run through the Medibuntu worksheet to make sure all your multimedia apps are fine
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
or are they already ok?

Also try going up to the top taskbar and click on

System - Administration - Synaptic

it asks for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one. Try the "Search" button to look for "flash player". Note that programs and packages that you already have installed on your system have a green splodge beside them and mostly it's worth avoiding uninstalling these but if you have more than one flash-player, ie if you have "gnash" or "swfplayer" or something as well as your adobe one then it's wise to uninstall them, and perhaps to reinstall your adobe one from there in case the dependencies get messed up. I don't think they have any but sometimes some really crucial stuff can get uninstalled along with whatever you needed to uninstall so it's wise to find a way of making sure that stuff stays in and i find this re-install of something similar that i do want to keep is a neat trick even if it's not elegant.

Good luck and regards from

Hi Tom

sorry, I tried that the first time around. When I just started having problems.
Didn't work.

Hi all

thank you all for trying to help me.
This has somehow resolved itself - must've pressed something somewhere.
But I'm going to be using Kubuntu with Jaunty as a back up

Thanks once again

Brilliant, nicely done :)))
Congrats and regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom

I'm getting there. I'll battle & ask for questions, etc - anything but I refuse to go back to windows. I won't be able to handle the frustration.
Ubuntu/Kubuntu has really spoilt me with all the available (free) applications, programs etc.

Loving it
