I'm not well aware about chrome process separation. So please educate me.

I thought Chrome gives a separate process per each tab. So for example if flash crashes in a given page the whole page should crash. But in Firefox way this shouldn't happen. Am I wrong?

I only started to use chrome recently so I don't have much experience with it either.

Chrome has a process per tab and runs entirely separate processes for each plugin. So if flash crashes, the page does not crash. There is only one flash process serving the whole browser though, so if flash crashes, flash content on all open tabs stops working. The new Firefox plugin implementation works the same way.
