Mozilla has just released Firefox 3.6.4 and this time you are going to love it even more. Firefox has been our favourite web browser so far but I really hated it when something would crash and would take the entire browser with it into dumps. Google Chrome understood this problem and provided a solution by keeping different processes for different tabs. This way entire browser would never crash, only a tab would do “aw snap!”

Firefox 3.6.4 is shipping with the capability to protect its user against third party plugin crashes. Crash protection utilizes out-of-process plugins technology to run third-party plugins (specifically Flash, Quicktime, and Silverlight) in a separate process.

Unfortunately this “crash protection” thing is not available for Apple users. Guys at Mozilla Firefox said that to provide this functionality on Apple, major changes are to be done in Firefox infrastructure although they have promised that Firefox 4 would implement this on Apple as well.

You can download the new Firefox here.
