[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects

[Rob Smith]

Taipan,

Thank you. As it turns out, I already had ccsm installed and followed
your instructions to uncheck legacy fullscreen support.

It is strange that this never happened until a couple days ago. I had
originally installed Hardy Heron on this machine back in the early part
of September (replacing Etch), and didn't have any problems until now. I
upgraded to Intrepid through apt-get the day it was released.

Anyway, thanks again for the tip.

Rob Smith -

Please read the actual workaround which will stop this permanently.... I
have copied it from the bug description for your convenience... and
modified it slightly to be easier to follow

**Workaround :
Step 1 - Install compizconfig-settings-manager (sudo apt-get install
compizconfig-settings-manager)
Step 2 - Start ccsm (either from the commandline or by pushing Alt+F2 and
typing ccsm)
Step 3 - Click on "Workarounds" plugin in the "Utility"
section 
Step 4 - Uncheck "Legacy Fullscreen Support".
