Flash Player running twice under Task Manager


i'm running windows 7 home premium , run latest firefox browser.

 

my question is, when go windows task manager, there 2 copies of adobe flash player 11.3 r300 running.    under image name, both say:  flashplayerplugin_11_3_300_270.exe *32 .   why happening?

 

under memory, 1 running @ 3,408 k , other @ 4,140 k.  (of course, these numbers vary, they're different other)

 

i don't understand why 2 versions of same thing running.  ideas?  thanks!

hello,

this expected.  should see 2 flash player processes running in task manager.  how protected mode in firefox works.  1 process broker, small , used pass messages , forth low-integrity flash player process.  low-integrity process doesn't have permission much, of heavy lifting in terms of processing content see on web.  if malicious content able crash , take control of flash player process, can't it, because it's running low permissions.


 

you can read more protected mode is, , how works here: inside flash player protected mode firefox
