I have a suggestion to add a kind of sandbox for NPAPI plugins. Sometimes, when the plugin crash, all Firefox crash. So maybe it is a good idea to run plugins in separate area to prevent crashes?

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page where (for example) Flash Plugin crash
2. Firefox will crash
Actual Results:  
FireFox crash when the NPAPI plugin crash

Expected Results:  
FireFox keep running and throws an error in the Error Console "Couldn't load plugin <Name of plugin> on object <url of object/applet/flash movie...>"
