For now, Firefox will never terminate a plugin thread once it is trigger.
It's that possible to close certain thread when it's inactive for sometime? (Inactive mean all pages need it are closed, and no new call for a while)
Sometime may refer to an entry like dom.plugins.ipc.timeout XX seconds.

Flash is used in many page, but some plugins may have much lower frequency, terminate them would help save a bit memory
