Upon switching tabs, please set the clip region for the instantiated plugins on the previous web page to zero width and height (for example, via NPP_SetWindow). This will enable out-of-process plugins like the new Java Plug-In to work correctly in Safari with multiple tabs; Firefox already does this and the new Java Plug-In works correctly in that browser.

I would like to ditto this. This is also important for plugins that are displaying OpenGL content in a plug in created context. Because there is no SetWindow message on tab switch or creation our context floats over the browser window no matter what tab you are looking at. FireFox handles this correctly in 3.X as well as 2.X.
