Firefox Flash and Spaces problem
I have a problem with Flash and all video via plugins. The problem is this:
I have Firefox open on Spaces 1 with Flash video paused.
I go to space 2 to type some emails.
I return to spaces 1 using a keyboard shorcut.
When i click on the flash video it thinks that left click is the right click, as is right click and middle click.
This happens with all videos.
Solutions i've noted
1) Alt-Tab to firefox and the flash behaves normally
2) Open a new tab and close it. Then firefox thinks everything is normal
I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.1 I upgraded from Leopard, that had Firefox installed
Is this a bug in firefox, or do i need to reinstall it?
EDIT: i'm using the latest Flash Player and latest version of Firefox.

Inappropriate?I have the same issue, and a workaround I found was to press the control key after switching back to firefox, then everything is normal again.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Yes, even with using Ctrl and Arrow keys to move between spaces that does help me :) even if the problem is not solved that's a good workaround. Thanks a lot :)
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Ugh. Yes, this is very annoying. It's nice to know that pressing control after switching back fixes this problem, but it would be better if it didn't happen at all.
I think my problem started happening after the release of Snow Leopard? I'm trying to remember if this happened when I was using Leopard...?

Inappropriate?Well i personally didn't see this problem occur when i was using Leopard, so i guess that this is because of Snow Leopard.

Inappropriate?It looks like this problem was addressed in Mozilla 1.9.2 and hence is fixed in Firefox 3.6 Beta 2. I don't know if they have plans to fix the bug in Mozilla 1.9.1 as well, though? For now, I'll run FF 3.6 on my OS X machines. I can live without the plug-ins that haven't been updated yet more than I can with this bug.

Inappropriate?Pressing CTRL after changing spaces back to your browser seems to return left click functionality. It would be nice to see an official fix. -
Inappropriate?Here is the link to bugzilla.mozilla.org showing the details of the problem and that it was fixed in 1.9.2. I don't know if the bug has been reported for earlier versions and/or if it's being worked on. I can confirm that I do not experience this problem with the latest Firefox 3.6 betas on Snow Leopard.

Inappropriate?I'm using shift + left click workaround. I have this problem on FF 3.5.5+snow leopard as well, I'll try with FF3.6 asap
