The feature has been ready for about two months, and in the latest days Mozilla has been ironing stability bugs, and back porting it from the trunk (main development repository), to the Namoroka branch (Firefox 3.6.x). Instead, the plugin is replaced with a dark image notifying the plugin crash and that you can click on it to try to reload the plugin. Multi-process Firefox Lorentz beta now available for downloadĪs expected, Mozilla has released the first Firefox beta featuring out of process plugins (OOPP), or plugins running on their own process, so if one crashes it won’t take down all your Firefox session.

Changes to how third-party software can integrate with Firefox in order to prevent crashes. Support for new DOM and HTML5 specifications including the Drag & Drop API and the File API, which allow for more interactive web pages. Support for new CSS attributes such as gradients, background sizing, and pointer events. Continued support for downloadable web fonts using the new WOFF font format. The ability for web developers to indicate that scripts should run asynchronously to speed up page load times. Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness, and startup time. Open, native video can now be displayed full screen and supports poster frames. Protection from out-of-date plugins to keep users safer as they browse. Support for a new type of theme called Personas, which allow users to change Firefox's appearance with a single click. This version is also faster and more responsive than previous versions and has been optimized to run on small device operating systems such as Maemo. 
Firefox 3.6 is built on Mozilla's Gecko 1.9.2 web rendering platform, which has been under development since early 2009 and contains many improvements for web developers, add-on developers, and users.
