FF trunk, and now 3.6 (after they backported it), runs all plugins in isolated processes. I can manually killall plugin-container if flash goes nuts (like using over a gig of memory, which I've seen it do).

A lot of the icky problems with having a lot of tabs went away soley due to that (at least, for those without habitual flashblock usage).
