Mozilla, in essence, is helping users to decrease the likelihood of being the victim of a malicious attack or crash.

The feature also does help ensure that users are running the latest versions of the popular video plugins by forcing users to update to the most recent versions. Currently, there is no schedule for other plugins to be included in Crash Protection. Mozilla is just about the last holdout to include such a feature. Both browsers have had crash protection for a while, and Chrome has had tab isolation since its advent. It is disappointing that it took Mozilla so long to include features that have been in Safari and Chrome for so long. Then, if a page crashes, only the tab would crash and need to be closed as opposed to the entire browser needing to be. It would have been nice if Crash Protection included the same type of sandboxing for tabs as well, similar to how Google Chrome handles tabs. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling through the GUI, but each time it was reinstalled Firefox crashed when pages with Flash content were opening. The only redeeming quality was that the browser would remember the last opened tabs, so that when it was restarted, I would not lose all the tabs I had opened. I used the version from the CentOS (not RPMforge) repository, and would have thought that would be identical to the official plugin. If my experience has been like others’, I often had to “xkill” Firefox if it crashed while loading a Flash intensive webpage or video. Keeps crashing for me around the same time and I basically have the same set up However, Google Chrome remains the most used browser in the world Twilight Menu Keeps Crashing sometimes it will partially play the end of an ad (i com (hollywoodcom) com (hollywoodcom). This way you only have to refresh the tab as opposed to restarting the whole browser. Instead, a gray box will appear indicating that a plugin has crashed. Therefore, any crashes caused by the plugins will not force the browser to crash.

This is accomplished by running the plugins as a separate process. To get rid of that annoying line down the side of the screen in full screen mode if you use All-in-One Sidebar, enable Advanced options and go into General > Behavior > Full Screen Mode and check 'Hide Sidebar Switch'. Mozilla is hoping to stop the trend that “as many as one in three browser crashes are currently caused by problems with various third-party plugins.” In order to do this, Firefox now has plugin isolation, meaning that the video playback plugins are sandboxed away from the browser.

However, crash Protection will not be implemented for the Mac OS X version until Firefox 4, which does not have its first release candidate scheduled until October. It protects against crashes from Adobe Flash, Apple QuickTime, and Microsoft SilverLight plugins for the Linux and Windows versions of Firefox. In order to make their browser more user-friendly again, Mozilla has finally added Crash Protection with the recent release of Firefox 3.6.4. Lately, the browser has been plagued by crashes due to the beloved add-ons. It was able to rival Microsoft’s Internet Explorer in popularity. Mozilla was one of the first companies to offer a user-friendly, customizable browser with extensions and add-ons.
