I agree that performance isn't brilliant - in particular, the YouTube Flash applet becomes absurdly slow in full-screen when the controls are visible, though some other applets don't have that problem - but I'd be surprised if full-screen Flash video didn't work at all. In what way does it fail for you/him?

*My* problem with Flash is that Firefox appears to be aggressively single-threaded, and a few times a minute decides to peg the CPU for a second or so, so if I want to play Flash smoothly I have to use Opera - or Konqeror, or any non-Firefox browser really.

Well, what I get is that the full-screen button flashes a full-screen video for a frame or two, and invariably falls back to windowed mode. I'm not sure if that is the symptom for him, though.

It could also be another problem: right now mouse button clicks within the flash applets don't seem to register -- I have to start video playback by pressing space because clicking with the mouse somehow doesn't seem to go through. Especially pressing the full-screen button does absolutely nothing right now. *sigh*
