Firefox to get GPU acceleration, more stable plugins

    Since 2D is inherently less GPU hungry than 3D, I am hoping that even lower end DX10 parts can perform this acceleration.

    Also, I'm really looking forward to the out-of-process plugin change. I have seen way too many badly coded plugins (or those that don't remove previous versions on update, like Java sometimes seems to do) completely crash Firefox repeatedly.

    For awhile there, Flash was the #1 reason Firefox crashed. Lots of angry Farmville users blaming Mozilla for Adobe's crap code.

    annnnnd the obligatory "firefox uses too much memory when i do something that is inherently intensive" comment.

    [sarcasm]Here is the cake. It is not a lie. You cannot have the cake and eat it too (unless it is a quantum cake, but then you might be dividing by zero).[/sarcasm]
