Because of the new plugin crash protection which was released in version 3.6.4, some flash games with a loading time of more than 10 seconds, were killed.

In the new release this timeout is now increased to an amount of 45 seconds, so that the most long loading plugins should work again.

A few weeks ago, the first beta version of Firefox 3.6.4 was released, now there is already the Firefox 3.6.4 release candidate available for testing.

The main change in the new release concerns the stability during surfing. So the browser shall continue, even if a plugin (Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight) should crash down. The user then has the possibility to send an error report and reload the page.

However, it is advisable to wait for the final version and reinstall both the beta and the release candidate only on a test machine. The final version should be available in a few weeks.
