windows xp pro / 3 firefox 3.6.10 I see many complains about this event but no solution. BUG?? I have also changed settings in filter dom.ipc as proposed in the forum but that seems not to be the solution. Is a very annoying disturbance and the lack of suitable responds is a quite strange thing in the Mozilla/Firefox environment. Please help?

my firefox was eating up about 80mb of memory when i viewed it on task manager, and plugin container was using the same mem. I ended the process and it restarted itself.

Plugin container is now using 4.5mb. I'm not sure what made it use so much mem.

Plug-in container is ripping all of my CPU...100% Maybe I should try what francismor... did. End both processes & see if they fix themselves.
