If you’re not on Facebook, I’m sure you know someone who is. If you are on Facebook, you probably have heard of a game called FarmVille. FarmVille is a game where you run what I would call more of a ranch than a farm, but you raise crops, raise livestock, plant fruit trees, and build buildings. Well, due to some security issues of late with Adobe Flash, and to increase browser stability, Firefox recently gained a feature called ‘out of process plug-ins’ which will give running plug-ins, such as Flash and Quicktime, 10 seconds to become responsive if they ever get stuck or the plug-in would shut down.
The good news is it made the browser more stable and crash-resistant. The bad news is, it caused some major issues with FarmVille. Due to the size of the FarmVille community, Mozilla (the company that created Firefox) has changed the time limit from 10 seconds to 45 seconds. This changed seems to have resolved the problem.
