A semantic quibble. The point is that the architecture has to be
designed to deal with arbitrary behaviour on the part of plugins or
extensions and currently it isn't. In contrast Google Chrome runs each
tab in a separate process to isolate the effects of bugs, and Mozilla
plans to do the same in a future version of FF, but not yet.
