For anyone who tends to have a large number of tabs open, it's likely to save a fair amount of time - and makes the whole crash experience a neater, tidier one.
In the not-unlikely event that a third-party plug-in - such as Adobe's Flash Player, Microsoft's Silverlight, or others - experiences issues and throws a wobbler, it means that the browser itself continues to run. Taking a leaf from Google's Chrome browser, the 'Lorentz' system built in to 3.6.4 runs each plug-in in its own dedicated 'sandbox' environment. Prior to that, however, Mozilla is asking willing participants to perform a little bit of testing - and, in turn, offering the chance of a sneak peak at a system designed to keep things ticking over in the event of a code crash. The Mozilla Foundation has released an update to its popular Firefox browser which introduces the 'Lorentz' technology designed to keep the browser from crashing due to faulty plug-ins.įirefox 3.6.4 Beta - available for immediate download - is the latest version of the current Firefox 3.6 tree, and will be rolled out to all users as a full release soon.
