Firefox 3.6.4 Beta - say goodbye to browser failure due to plug-in crash
Firefox fans, does this sound familiar: you were middle of your browsing session, and the Flash plug-in crashed on a tab, bringing the entire browser down? Well, fear no more.
For those early adopters, who started using Firefox 3.6.3 Plug-in 1, codenamed ‘Lorentz’, earlier this month (and even for those who didn’t); there is good news - there is an update for you, and you won’t have to continue using a spin-off release for the ‘Out of Process Plug-Ins’ capabilities. Firefox 3.6.4 Beta build has been released with out of process plug-in integrated.
If you are wondering, what this ‘out of process plugin’ might be - it is a process handler for Firefox enabling the browser to run Adobe Flash, Apple QuickTime and Microsoft SilverLight plug-ins as seperate process; so that if one of these may crash or freeze while browsing, they wouldn’t bring Firefox down. Much like Chrome’s ‘Aw, Snap!’ screen, it will show you a message about the plugin crash in the page and ask the user to reload the page, to recover from the crash.
