Sadly, the definition of how browser plugins work means that they are<br>
fully-privileged native code. There's not much you can do about that. I<br>
guess it would be technically possible to define a new plugin standard<br>
that was sandboxed in some way, but it would be an enormous effort, and<br>
no-one would rewrite their plugins to use it.<br>
