Script Summary: All embedded Youtube & Vimeo videos (plus others) viewed in Facebook, by default have the fullscreen button/feature disabled. This script adds the button for fullscreen back. Works for Firefox 3.6+.

Version: 3.5

After waiting a very long time for someone to do a script like this, I finally went ahead and made one myself.
This script will enable the fullscreen ability/button on Youtube & Vimeo videos (plus others such as CollegeHumor videos, as of v3.5) that are embedded into Facebook feeds and profiles.
Should work for Firefox 3.6+ and Facebook as of June 2010.

[v3.5] Improved on v3.0 by finding an alternative to an insecure method. Made some updates so videos from other sources might also have their fullscreen buttons enabled (eg. such as collegehumor, pls let me know of any others).
[v3.0] Recoded to be even more efficient. Extended the facebook CSS.addClass method so the fullscreen code will only run when a video thumbnail is clicked.
[v2.0] Added Vimeo support; Reduced unnecessary js calls and made code more efficient (as a result it was simplified) - Performance should be better now, shouldnt lag facebook as much.
[v1.0] Original version.
