Mozilla hides its shortcomings
March 10, 2010 – 10:42 pm
According to the technical director of Adobe, Kevin Lynch, widely embedded in the software Flash-plug-ins have no known bugs and fixes. Such a statement can only be explained by the fact that Lynch is absolutely not familiar with the situation. Recently, Adobe increasingly criticized precisely for incorrect work of its Flash-Plugin. This apparent silence on the shortcomings, of course, would not benefit the company’s reputation and may affect its profits, but, nevertheless, problems remain unresolved.
Mozilla Foundation has decided to deal with the problem and the use of this plug-in with low security and an unstable job. Some popular browsers have isolated the “unreliable” plug-ins to avoid the collapse of the whole browser because of their unstable. The same will be implemented in the new version of Firefox, said 3dnews.ru.
Isolation Flash is part of a wider project called Electrolysis, the essence of which lies in the implementation of multithreading in Firefox. Each browser window, the process will run in its own thread and, in case of critical errors, it will affect only one window (or tab), but not the entire browser. This separation of flows already implemented in Internet Explorer and Chrome.
