Adobe also included a feature they refer to as "Enterprise Enablement", where the Flash player looks for a file named mms.cfg and then can be told via that file to ignore the January 12th date for specific sites. We've implemented that and tested by setting the date forward to January 17th on the test stations. With this enabled, things work; without it in place, Flash refuses to play the application. > There is at least one Firefox extension out there [1] which essentially > just takes the browser fullscreen at launch time, in exactly the same > way as if the user had pressed F11 after launch. > > [...snip...] > > [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autofullscreen/ So far we've been avoiding extensions, but I'll give this one a test.
