Firefox Lorentz

The latest Firefox beta prevents plugin crashes from crashing your browser.

Keep Plugin Crashes Under Control

Firefox "Lorentz" provides uninterrupted browsing for Windows and Linux users when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins.

If a plugin crashes or freezes, it will not affect the rest of Firefox. You will be able to reload the page to restart the plugin and try again.

Firefox Lorentz will become part of a future release of Firefox 3.6.

If you notice any other problems while you browse with this beta, please let Mozilla know by filing a bug or sending us feedback.
