If the Multiple VLC plugins(0.8.6) is playing Multip-video in Firefox or IE and you reload or refresh the page, most of the time Firefox and IE will crash. why?

<div id="vlc1"></div>
<div id="vlc2"></div>
<div id="vlc3"></div>
<div id="vlc4"></div>

var vlc1 = new VLCObject("v1", "200", "150", "0.8.6");
vlc1.setAttribute('autostart','false');
vlc1.addParam("MRL","udp:@192.168.110.81:6001");
vlc1.addParam('autostart','false');
var vlc2 = new VLCObject("v2", "200", "150", "0.8.6");
vlc2.addParam("MRL","udp:@192.168.110.81:6002");
vlc2.addParam('autostart','false');
var vlc3 = new VLCObject("v3", "200", "150", "0.8.6");
vlc3.addParam("MRL","udp:@192.168.110.81:6003");
vlc3.addParam('autostart','false');
var vlc4 = new VLCObject("v4", "200", "150", "0.8.6");
vlc4.addParam("MRL","udp:@192.168.110.81:6004");
vlc4.addParam('autostart','false');
vlc1.write("vlc1");
vlc2.write("vlc2");
vlc3.write("vlc3");

Thanks, I test you code(viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29977).

Unfortunately, firefox still crashes if I refresh the page a couple of times,I don't know why so.

this is code of VLCObject.js http://code.revolunet.com/VLCobject

Iam not good in java but i would advise you to try out a page with single vlc plugin. If its stable then the problem will be with using multiple option.
