please read http://developer.mozilla.org/En/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report

I guess that this is a bug in the plugin that causes a crash.

maybe, but this plugin works properly in IE6 and IE7.
PS: i don't know any alternative vrml-plugin for web browsers

at developer web-page (http://www.cortona3d.com/cortona) i see this text: 

"Cortona3D Viewer (previously known as Cortona VRML Client) works as a VRML plug-in for popular Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape Browser, Mozilla, Firefox, etc.) and office applications (Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, etc)."

But when i try to install version especially for mozilla browser aborts an installation with error code -204

PS: Plugin for mozilla available on http://www.cortona3d.com/install/netscape.php

"maybe, but this plugin works properly in IE6 and IE7."
That is not correct,it's a different plugin.
IE5+ is using ActiveX plugins while all other browsers are using a NPAPI plugin.

The XPI installation changed in FF3. Download the .xpi instead of installing it, rename the .xpi to .zip, unzip it and put the np*.dll (the plugin) in Firefox plugin directory.
