FVWM: firefox and fullscreen video stream

[Dominique Michel]

Hi,

When I watch a video stream like the lac conference
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2013/stream
or youtube, whatever, with firefox, and put it in fullscreen with the
fullscreen button on the player, the video get in fullscreen.

If I put a fvwm-button at the top of the video, the video remain in
fullscreen, but if I put another application at the top of the video,
firefox switch the video at its normal size.

Is it some style option I can use for firefox in order to prevent it to
switch back the video in their normal size when another window is bring
at the top?

You can certainly capture the class of the video and set that to a
higher layer, although more than likely you're running up against the
fact that the flash window when it loses focus, it reverts to its
original size.

Thank you,

in the main time, I find another solution. It look like to be a wrong
preference default setting in firefox, and it is an open bug about
this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724554

In short, "full-screen-api.exit-on-deactivate" must be set to false in
about:config.
