Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6

I support the current update in 3.6.4 which has the plugin restart option.
But, after the 3.6.6 update "for Farmsville", I have to wait for a very long time with a non-responsive firefox before the plugin crash error shows up - which at most times I have ended the firefox.exe(*32) process.
I have a suggestion so that Firefox can give options to the user with the following options:
1. Should Mozilla activate plugin crash protection?
2. How long should Mozilla wait before giving out the plugin crash error signal
3. What pages should Mozilla except (supply default pages (e.g. Farmsville))?

And one more suggestion, if possible, give updates for site exceptions in No. 3 from Mozilla's website.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
Open any website with flash plugin.
Actual Results:  
Nothing crashes, yet.

Expected Results:  
Well I hope nothing crashes...

We're in the process of removing support for plugins (bug 1677160), so I think this bug is irrelevant now.
