Users that have followed the evolution of Mozilla’s latest iteration of Firefox already know that there has never been a 3.6.1 version. Mozilla is gearing up to skip a version number for the second time since it released Firefox 3.6.

You just need to know the name of the library (which you get from about:plugins), and create the preference accordingly.Ĭonversely, you can disable OOPP for specific plugin (even enabled by default ones) by setting their respective preference to false. For Java, the preference must be named .npjp2.dll. Right now, it only runs QuickTime, Flash, and Silverlight on their own process, but you can also manually add other plugins via about:config.įor example to have the Adobe Reader plugin running on its own process, create a boolean preference in about:config, name it .nppdf32.dll, set it to true, and restart. The feature has been ready for about two months, and in the latest days Mozilla has been ironing stability bugs, and back porting it from the trunk (main development repository), to the Namoroka branch (Firefox 3.6.x). Instead, the plugin is replaced with a dark image notifying the plugin crash and that you can click on it to try to reload the plugin. Multi-process Firefox Lorentz beta now available for downloadĪs expected, Mozilla has released the first Firefox beta featuring out of process plugins (OOPP), or plugins running on their own process, so if one crashes it won’t take down all your Firefox session.
