527298 - If there are multiple monitors, Alt-Tab shouldn't close the full screen video window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dão Gottwald [:dao]]

Spin-off from bug 521129, specifically these comments:

> To be honest, I prefer the current behaviour over Flash's.  Having dual
> monitors, it has always bothered me that I can't watch flash video fullscreen
> on one monitor while interacting with applications on the other monitor.

> I guess we could add a hidden pref, but we should optimize this for
> single-monitor setups first and foremost.

> Or detect if there are multiple monitors, but I don't know if there's a
> reliable way to do that. I think looking at screen.left would work if the video
> played on the right monitor.

At least the summary is similar to the issue described in bug 1152295, which still exists with the latest Adobe Flash Player on linux.
