Firefox 3.6.4 introduced this plugin-container.exe to make sure that plugins are better behaved. So if you're watching a video or playing a game and it crashes because of a faulty Flash plugin, only the plugin will crash and it wouldn't take down all of Firefox.
Go to answer 39Go to the following link, click on "What's New in Firefox 3.6.4". The first 2 paragraphs is a brief explanation of what plugin-container.exe is designed to do. Right now, in Windows and Linux only, it isolates Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins from the main browser, so that if one of those plug-ins crashes, your whole browser does not crash. This was done due to the large number of crashes caused by plug-ins. Plans are to add more plug-ins in later updates to Firefox.

My only wish is that plugin-container.exe had been designed to close itself when pages running the plug-ins are closed. Maybe that will happen in a future update too.

Had problems with plugin-container.exe
Deleted it, now can't access any site, firefox hangs and crashes
How do I re-install it
Here is a Fix l tried and it worked and is still working fine just disable the plugin and alls is good l posted this on page 2 seems no ones doing it to disable it.
Solution you can turn it off by typing About:config in the address bar above, filter for dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Copy & Paste) and change that to false. Flash will run in the program proper. and l am not getting any crash messages and all runs smooth again on a single core P4 2.4cpu. :D
I must say that I might just have to go back to internet exploder until you guys fix this crappy plugin container... it slows down my system , and at times completely stalls web browsing... I started using firefox because it was way better than ie, but now... it is just as crappy ... I will be looking for a replacement for firefox / mozilla and maybe I might return when u guy get your heads out of your butts and fix this crap.. then again I might not.....
I used latest firefox, should be there is no problem at all with this old mess... ironic... still there.. I tried to fix the problem followed instruction I found on youtube, sadly its wont works at all, hope morzilla can fix this oldies problem soon because morzilla firefox is my default browser
