Are you planning on fixing or removing plugin-container.exe. Firefox worked fine before this was added and has just gotten worse and worse. I can't do anything on my computer with firefox open, my cursor just jumps all over my screen because plugin-container is using so much of my porcessor and memory. I updated all plugins and this helped...for about two days! Every update I'm hoping you fix it, but nope. Are you going to fix it? or remove it? Or is this the end of Firefox? Are you trying to push people to use other web browsers? What is going on with this? I look at other complaints about plugin-container.exe, and the responses are like you don't really believe there is a problem. There is a real problem!

I can't envision Mozilla changing back to running all plugins under Firefox.exe by default. However, I think you can force that for yourself by changing a preference.

In about:config, try changing dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false.

Then restart Firefox and see whether plugin-container.exe is gone.
