Mozilla Corporation, the producer of Mozilla
Firefox, the free and open source browser announced the release of Firefox
3.6.4, the most novel edition of the popular web browser. Even though the
company kept the entire world waiting it for quite a long time, the final
product came out with a very big addition in the security part. The new version
protects the browser from crashing due to third-party plugins, particularly
Adobe Flash.
The modified version of the browser, that is
available with dozens of glitch fixes and stability upgrades is again free and
can be downloaded from the website of Mozilla. Firefox crash protection is the
most attractive factor that will entice an average user of the browser. This
crash protection is an outstanding characteristic of Google Chrome as well.
This innovative engineering of crash protection employs
out-of-process plugins technology to execute third-party add-ins such as Flash,
QuickTime, and Silver light in a freestanding process. Till the previous
version of Firefox, a plugin crash could let down the total browser software,
where as now, with the addition of crash protection, the browser will keep
executing till disabling the plugins and the websites controlling it. After
providing the complete protection, the browser will only demand you to restart
or refresh the plugins.
The most flexible browser with a crash protection is
available only for Windows, and Linux operating systems users. Mac OSX users
should wait for a little bit longer to have access to this crash protection.
The Mozilla Corporation promises it to be accessible for Mac users in Firefox
4, which is expected to have a debut by the end of the year. The company states
that the Firefox program necessitates major alterations, to make it suitable to
work in the Mac OSX. This can be a preparing period for apple software.
