2012-11-24: Browser tip: Keep video full screen with multiple monitors (Firefox)
If you have multiple monitors and use Firefox to view a HTML5 video (using the
tag, such as in the YouTube HTML5 player) or perhaps have a WebGL game
that runs full-screen, you will find that the moment you click away to
another window on the other monitor, Firefox leaves full-screen mode.
This makes it completely useless for watching video while doing
something else. There is a fix for it.
In Firefox, go to about:config, find a property called full-screen-api.exit-on-deactivate and set it to false (which you can do by doubleclicking on it). No need to restart the browser. It'll keep your full-screen content full-screen. Quite why this isn't the default is beyond me. Of course, to get out of full-screen mode, just press Esc.

Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this, way easier than lifehacker's
modified dll (that can always prove to be a virus). Actually on my setup
the property either was not visible or wasn't there at all, so I right
clicked, created it as a boolean and set it to false... and it did the
trick.Nice find and huge thanks.
Cheers.
