For those of you who don't know about this web-feed... I thought I'd mention it here. The link is in the following paragraph. I also have a question for all you computer wiz's...

I am trying to view this LIVE webcam feed of Disneyland. Link found here:

http://www.hojoanaheim.com/take-a-tour/webcam

I am more specifically trying to view it in fullscreen. I have done it several times in the past by right clicking on the video feed box and selecting "toggle fullscreen" from the list of options. I am doing this now and it is not working. Did something get disabled? What can I do to make this option work again? Any troubleshooting ideas? I thought it was just a glitch and I shut down my computer and tried again, but it still doesn't work. I am really confused as to why this is suddenly not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What browser and version number are you using? I tried it in the latest Firefox and it would not go full screen but I haven't updated adobe flash lately so that may or may not be the problem. I then tried it in Internet Explorer 8 and it opened in full screen just fine. I hate Internet Explorer but sometimes webpages just will not render correctly in firefox mostly due to their recent rapid releases of new versions. I have stopped updating firefox and will stay with my current version until they do a forced update.

I am using a Macbook currently. I have tried opening it in both Safari and Firefox browsers. They have worked before on both though, I recently updated my Adobe Flash and I am starting to think that may be the problem. Although, I don't really understand how updating would make things worse, if anything, it should make it better. Right? What version of Adobe Flash are you running? Is it possible to downgrade?

I haven't updated Adobe Flash in Internet Explorer in probably at least 2 years because I very rarely use IE. That may explain why the cam works in full screen in IE for me but not in firefox. In firefox I have a relatively new version but not the latest. I have stopped updating it in firefox for now as well because I kept getting bugs like these.
I don't use Mac's so can't test on one but I run Ubuntu Linux on a couple of machines which run firefox so when I get time I will test the full screen mode on them.

I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash and then installing a previous version. You can download the previous versions from the developer archive here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_Flash_Player_versions_ for_developers

Thanks. I'll try that and see what happens.
