The cure for a strange Flash/Firefox/Spaces bug
I’ve run into a strange problem where Flash confuses a left mouse click for a right click. This seems to happen when Flash has the focus in Firefox and you switch to another space via Spaces in Mac OS X. This is very, very frustrating.
WTF?
The cure
After some light research, it seems that there is currently no official fix for this problem (I’m not sure if it’s a Firefox, Flash, or Spaces bug). However, I’ve discovered a temporary fix that at least eliminates the need to restart Firefox. To fix, simply press the modifier of your choice (ctrl, option, command, or shift) and Flash behaves.
Here’s to hoping the HTML 5 video tag becomes universally supported and implemented soon.
