“Mozilla has released a second developer preview of Firefox 4.0 which contains a piece of the Electrolysis project. Dubbed “Out-of-Process Plugins,” the new feature will ensure that plugins don’t bring down the entire browser. When a plugin, such as Flash, crashes, the user’s session will stay intact, leaving the plugin to be dealt with on it its own. Firefox will terminate the problematic plugin and then restart it automatically.”
