User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; ru; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090402 Minefield/3.6a1pre Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; ru; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090402 Minefield/3.6a1pre I have a suggestion to add a kind of sandbox for NPAPI plugins. Sometimes, when the plugin crash, all Firefox crash. So maybe it is a good idea to run plugins in separate area to prevent crashes? Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a page where (for example) Flash Plugin crash 2. Firefox will crash Actual Results: FireFox crash when the NPAPI plugin crash Expected Results: FireFox keep running and throws an error in the Error Console "Couldn't load plugin <Name of plugin> on object <url of object/applet/flash movie...>"
