report this upstream to gnome-shell. usually if full screen doesn't work, i do alt+tab until i find the flashplayer in fullscreen.

Doesn't seem to make any progress, though :(

There's a workaround.

1. Install devilspie - pacman -S devilspie
2. Create a file "~./devilspie/flash-fullscreen-firefox.ds" with the following content:

(if
(is (application_name) "plugin-container")
(begin (focus)
)
)

3. Make devilspie autostart by creating a file "~./config/autostart/devilspie.desktop" with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=devilspie
Exec=devilspie
Type=Application
StartupNotify=no
Icon=gtk-fullscreen

Then you're ready to go :)
