I have windows 7 on Dell d620, I have seen my browser pause regularly as the plugin-container eats CPU cycles as seen in process explorer. IE9 does not do this and it is annoying. I have been on Firefox since version 1 and the 3.x upgrade that introduced plugin-container has given me gyp ever since, plugins crash and the pause as described. I have rebuild my OS and the problem is the same and I have seen this on more than one PC. Please can you do something about this
