I think my original report has been misunderstood. First, I can not tell plugin causes crashes, and it is not easily reproducible. Sometimes firefox runs up to a week, frequenly used, sometimes I have to restart it several times a day. Usually it crashes when I'm not using it.
A reasonable way to repeat this, could be to take some plugin, modify it to e.g. address a nul pointer, so the plugin fails to 100 %. If the API is working OK, firefox should let the faulty plugin die, but not get affected in any other way. The firefox I'm running most of the time is currently 1.5.0.13pre (dapper LTS). There may be other errors in firefox causing it to crash, to get rid of the possibility to crash on failing plugins is a first step towards a stable browser.
