Hello. Two days ago, I saw that the file 'Plagin container for Firefox' for 10-15 minutes eats up all the resources (up to 100%) of a powerful computer. I reinstall the browser, clean cooki and cash, delete that file - nothing helps. Without this file Mozilla did not open. 

Once turn off Mozilla, all the resources are restored.

Other programs work well, a new and powerful computer with 64 bit Windows 10, 2,3 CPU, 8 GB memory. 

What to do?
