FireFox adds out of process plugins. Improves speed and stability
This is pretty exciting news, Currently plugins run in the same process as FireFox itself which means that the plugin can actually crash the whole browser.
Once this work is completed each plugin will have its own process and if it crashes it won’t pull down the whole browser. It also improves speed. I am guessing that the speed improvement comes because each process can run on a different core. So if you have more than one core then FireFox itself can run on one and the plugins on another.
