Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

There seem to be a design flaw in the plugin API used by firefox (and
several other browers) as a plugin can cause firefox (konqueror and
other browsers using the same API as well) to crash.

I can't provide a reliable example on this, but crashes happen too often
when different types of plugins are used. The only reason I can see for
this behaviour is that the API is buggy, if it allows for crashes.

When a browser plugin dies of bad design, the browser should get a
notice about this, but definitely not crash.

Best regards
