Screenshots of full-screen flash videos in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Description of problem:
I am using Fedora 16 x86_64 with the default Gnome 3.2.1 and I have a dual monitor setup, the primary display (display-1) is the laptop's monitor (15.4") and the secondary (display-2) is an external LCD Samsung monitor (19"). When I have a browser, e.g. Google Chrome (17.0.963.56) or Mozilla Firefox (10.0.1), open on display-2 and want to play a full-screen Flash-video from a NON YouTube site, e.g. http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes, the Flash video defaults to monitor-1's size and there is no way of making it go full-screen on monitor-2. This is not the case when playing full-screen videos from YouTube.com. With YouTube.com videos it all works correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Fedora 16 x86_64
- Gnome 3.2.1
- Adobe Flash Player x86_64 11.0.1.152
- Google Chrome 17.0.963.56
- Mozilla Firefox 10.0.1

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Google Chrome/Mozilla Firefox on your secondary monitor (the secondary monitor must not be of the same size as the primary monitor!)
2. navigate to a NON-YouTube.com flash-video hosting page, like e.g. http://www.thedailyshow.com/ or http://edition.cnn.com/
3. on that site find a flash-video and click full screen
  
Actual results:
The full-screen flash-video on the secondary display is the size of the primary display instead of being the size of the secondary monitor.

Expected results:
The full-screen flash-video in the secondary monitor should be of the same size as the secondary monitor.

Additional info:
I attached some print-screens.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 16:34:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 20:24:41 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
