Fixing Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu to crash when changing flash videos to fullscreen

Posted by: Fritz Thomas In: Overall

After upgrading my Browser on Ubuntu 9.04 to Firefox 3.5 Shiretoko i couldn’t watch Flash Videos in Fullscreen resolution.


This solved my problem: 

sudo vim /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.2/firefox.sh

In this file i added this code on the second line AFTER the first line: 

#!/bin/sh
 
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
 
# Firefox launcher containing a Profile migration helper for
# temporary profiles used during alpha and beta phases.
