That's weird, since Flash runs on its own process (plugin-container). Is it actually crashing the whole browser?

It shouldn't. At least on Windows I've gotten used to killing the plugin container about once ever 2 days. Firefox itself crashes once per month, maybe less.

Firefox = rock solid. Flash = porous rock, at best :)

I find when Flash (plugin-container) goes down, it takes both Firefox and Chrome down with it. Running Windows 7 at work.

It locks up the entire browser so I have to force kill it. I'm on Windows 7.
