    <p>There isn't room in comments to answer your question in the comment well, so I'll put it in another answer.</p> <p>Any time your code gets an NPObject from a NPObject function (one of those you mentioned above), you should Release that NPObject when you're done with it. (that could be immediately, or you could save it for awhile and release it when your object gets destroyed). The same holds true with a NPVariant. It does <em>not</em> hold true with the arguments passed into your Invoke function, but the return value you set will get released by the browser when it's done.</p> <p>When you call NPN_GetValue and get an NPObject from there, that also has to be released. This means that when the browser calls NPP_GetValue, it will release your NPObject when it's done. If you want to create a new NPObject every time the browser calls NPP_GetValue to get your NPObject, then you don't have to call NPN_RetainObject on it; the assumption in the NPAPI example is that you are saving a copy of your NPObject so that it doesn't get deleted until your plugin object gets deleted.</p> <p>Since the browser will call Release for every time that it calls NPP_GetValue to get your NPObject, you need to make sure that the refcount is incremented before you return it. The reason you don't have to call it twice in the case that you're going to keep it is that NPN_CreateObject does an implicit Retain before it returns your object.</p> <p>I have written up a more detailed explanation here:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://colonelpanic.net/2009/12/memory-management-in-npapi" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://colonelpanic.net/2009/12/memory-management-in-npapi</a></li> </ul>
