Just three days after adding crash protection to Firefox, Mozilla rushed out another release on Friday because people playing Farmville complained that their browser was shutting down the Facebook game.
Mozilla added what it calls "out of process plug-ins" (OOPP) -- a feature designed to keep the browser up and running when a plug-in crashes -- to Firefox 3.6.4, which shipped June 22.
If Adobe's Flash Player, Apple's QuickTime or Microsoft's Silverlight crashes or is unresponsive for more than 10 seconds, Firefox 3.6.4 displays a message telling the user that the browser has killed the plug-in.
But the 10-second pause was too short.
