Solve : Firefox update brings protection from Flash crashes?

Answer»

Mozilla is rolling out an update of its Firefox Web browser that adds support for plugin isolation. Version 3.6.4, which INCLUDES the new feature, was officially released on Tuesday and will be deployed soon through the browser's automated update system.

It is unusual for Mozilla to DEPLOY a major new feature in a minor POINT update, but the plugin isolation CAPABILITY is a worthy exception to the RULE, since it will significantly improve the browser's stability. In the new version of Firefox, plugin components like Flash and Silverlight will run in external processes. When these plugins crash, the browser itself will not be terminated.

I got this update two days ago actually. I was also prompted to update Flash, which has a new "Global settings" option on right-click.Be careful with the Flash update as Adobe wants to include a McAffee component in the DLoad....many people miss the opt-out option...
