Plug In Checker does not load info. I have updated &/or re-installed all Adobe Plugins I re-set the (?) to -1 as suggested When I stop Firefox process the Plug In Container keeps running When loading Farmville - cpu usage stays around 3% until almost loaded then shoots up to 30%+ then Firefox crashes. This has been going on for about a week. Someone suggested it would stop if I go back to an earlier version of Firefox. should I do this and if so which version. Thanks

I assume you followed the instructions to disable the plugin hang detector? See Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again. Also, the troubleshooting suggestions here? Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems

You said, When loading Farmville - cpu usage stays around 3% until almost loaded then shoots up to 30%+ then Firefox crashes

If Firefox itself is crashing , can you post the most recent crash reports? See Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) .
