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.

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.
