Keep in mind plugins are themselves compiled code and can do nearly anything.
Bad code in a plugin will crash teh browser.

I never had a problem with it and have that plugin installed since Firebird 0.7

( ps, the plugin is beta http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/beta.html and
it looks like Adobe isn't going to do anything with it )

We can't fix the Adobe SVG plugin.
But please try Firefox 1.5, which has built-in SVG support.
