> just the flash element (e.g. the youtube video box becomes gray)

In every tab, all flash elements become gray. I'd rather just one tab crash that parts of many tabs crashing.

The same thing happens in Chrome as in Firefox. Whenever the Flash plugin crashes for me in Chrome all Flash elements in every tag crash.

Note: Firefox used to crash the entire browser when Flash crashed so the method that Chrome and Firefox now use is an improvement.

Ah, so it's just Flash that sucks then. I'm a firefox user myself, just can't stand how Chrome looks or losing all the plugins I'm accustomed to in firefox. I just really like the idea of one process per tab for managing memory and safety.

I was a FF user until I found out Chrome was much faster with the webkit, but I'll always give Firefox a shot again if they manage to beat Chrome's speed.
