Firefox 3.6.6 fixes Flash timeout issues

Posted on Monday, June 28 2010 @ 16:48 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Mozilla rolled out Firefox 3.6.6 over the weekend. This is a small update to increase the "hung plugin" timeout as some users experienced problems with the new plugin crash protection feature. For instance, some people reported that they were unable to play Farmville with Firefox 3.6.4 because this Flash game hangs the browser long enough for the timeout to trigger and kill it.

Firefox 3.6.6 modifies the crash protection feature to increase the amount of time that plugins are allowed to be non-responsive before being terminated.
