Why does the flash video have much higher contrast when the window is maximized?

When using Mozilla Firefox, any flash videos like those on youtube, when maximized, shows much higher contrast. The video becomes so dark that it is pretty difficult to view it. When zoomed out, everything looks normal.

The work around I ended up using, was to maximize the window using ctrl++ option without using the "fullscreen" button. It is a hassle, but it works. Does anyone know why this happens?

I use Mozilla FF 19.0.2. Btw, this doesn't happen on Chrome or IE.
