When trying to view videos full screen I get a message that Adobe has crashed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe and Firefox using the current versions. This problem does not seem to appear with IE.

The problem in my case appears self imposed. I had previously changed my visual effects settings to best performance. After changing the visual effects settings back to "Let Windows choose..." all my problems with the adobe crashing in full screen mode were resolved. Thanks to jscher2000 for your input.

You might consider disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3, since that feature is currently being debugged. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
