As we get more time to test, we'll let you know what we find.Ī quick check this afternoon of the latest crash reports from Mozilla show that nearly half of the crashes reported by testers of version 3.6.4 (including daily alpha builds) over the past week, come not from a plug-in but from a Windows kernel call related to multithreading. But with the new Silverlight 4, the runtime's own process control kicks in, evidently precluding situations which used to cause the browser to crash. We tried several Silverlight pages that we knew were old, and that caused problems with more recent versions in the past.

Old versions of the Silverlight plugin for Mac OS X have been added to the Firefox add-on blocklist. In previous months, Adobe Flash has tallied as much as 25% of live reported crashes. Some 90,134 crashes (about 2.7% of the total) are caused by Skype. For instance, engineers believe as many as half the crashes over the last four weeks that were responsible for 189,762 crashes (as of the time of this writing Tuesday afternoon) may have been caused by a non-updated version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Judging from the signature data delivered to Mozilla's servers by its crash reporter system, in recent months, most of those crashes have actually been triggered by plug-ins.
