I installed Firefox 4 a couple of days ago. It seems like presentations don't run in it. When I click the Start Presentation button, nothing happens. I can click through the slides on the bottom, but not play presentations.

Excellent - your screen capture was just what we needed to reproduce the issue.

In my case I was not seeing the 'Do you want to allow this website to run in full screen mode' dialog because I had previously checked on the 'Remember my answer' checkbox. If this is not checked on I see the issue, but once checked the problem disappears. I think in most cases this will provide a good workaround, but I will also enter a bug report for this issue

Thanks

thanks you guys & please see again my post on this from 5/6 -- if you have not got rid of the "run in full screen mode" dialog & click NO on the prompt rather than YES the presentation will not start at all. so the problem really has two aspects. I haven't tested what happens if you click NO on the prompt & then remember that answer -- but that needs to be tested.

The 'No' scenario is actually just part of the same problem, it's the appearance of this dialog that causes the issue in Firefox. If you check on 'Remember my answer' then click 'No' presentations will run correctly the second time and thereafter.
