I hook up my TV to my laptop via HDMI and extend the screen so that it functions as a second screen. And if I click anywhere on my primary screen while the video player is fullscreen on the other it simply drops out of fullscreen mode and back into regular browser mode. Is this a bug or is the player not supposed to be able to do that?

Using Firefox 19.0 on windows 7 home premium.

We've switched to using the browser's native fullscreen capability, as opposed to Flash fullscreen, so the behavior is browser dependent. Flash handled fullscreen a bit better, but unfortunately we all see where Flash is headed, so we're trying use as much native browser capabilities as possible.

So this is basically a firefox issue and not a site one?
