[whitis]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: swfdec-mozilla

Click play on the main video.

Now, click on the fullscreen popout icon.

It now takes over the full screen, as expected.
A message appears that the site doesn't allow full screen.
Then, instead of popping back into firefox, you still have the full screen plus a smaller firefox embedded size window in the upper left corner of the screen.
You are completely trapped, unless:
  - Console switching and killall firefox will probably work.
  - On a dual monitor system, put the cursor over the other monitor, roll the scroll wheel so compiz will
    scroll to a new workspace, open a terminal, and kill firefox.
  - ssh in from another machine, kill firefox.
Either way, you lose any posts you were editing in firefox.

Different from but possibly related to #235666
