`stop running plugins` option

Post by 0102030405 »

Hi.
Would it be possible to add something like "stop all plugins" button as a panic/emergency menu in noscript?
For now i've made a taskbar shortcut whitch kills flash if something hangs or does stupid things like make annoying noises.
Not very handy but i start to notice how often i use it. Cheers, and thanks for this awesome add-on.

sorry my english.

This is more something to submit to Mozilla, rather than as a NoScript feature. If a Flash movie wanted to attack you, it could do it before you had a chance to press the kill button.

Maybe you could make your own addon to do this. It might be tricky, though, to kill a Java process or Flash process once it has started.

You can disable Plugins in Addons Manager (in real time).
Maybe you could make a bookmarklet to affect the same?

This will work on a single page at a time only, zap plugins.
