Hi,

I set up the variable name to MOZ_DISABLE_OOP_PLUGINS and its value to 1 as per this site and the plugin.exe is still appearing and Firefox is still crashing.

I've got a work around but it very painfull.

Every time I open a new tab I kill the plugin.exe and all works as normal.

Anyone got another better solution?
