Plugins and add-ons are 2 completely different things in Firefox.
Anyhow this is a welcome change, there's a new process the contains those plugins when Firefox uses them. Doesn't seem to contain the Java plugin though.

Anyone know why plugin-container.exe which is included in this Firefox version requests internet access when accessing some web games?

It doesn't request access for videos or some games but for others it does.

some issues with plugin-container.exe and Sandboxie

The last post in that topic regarding disabling the exe is wrong I guess. It says: "Right click those top 5 entries and toggle them to the opposite of what they are now.". The first one should remain on :"false". Am I right?

[JRViejo]

Get, that suggestion came from a MozillaZine Post (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=9530495#p9530495) which states "Right click those top 5 entries and toggle them to the opposite of what they are now, i.e."

My FF 3.6.4 about:config shows exactly the same as the image, and because I'm not having a problem with plugin-container.exe, I haven't tweaked the five entries. Keep in mind they can be reversed back, should an issue occur.

I'm aware of that (only have changed the flashentry btw). The first one should stay default I guess. That was what I was (a little) uncertain about.

3.6.4 did not last long. It is now Firefox 3.6.6
