I have had this plug-in container problem for several months causing the browser to hang especially when I have several tabs open and crash when I use task manager to fix; for example on 8.26.15, the error signature was 40.0.3.5716; samd mod name: mozglue.dll
and last April 13, 2015, it was called plug-in container 37.0.1.5570, mod name (different this time) called: mozalloc.dll
Below is a possible fix I found but I'm scared to try to use it involving opening file browser ( what is that) and find program files (I know that is in C file) and replace anything named firefox to .old (is that dot old). then it says Now run the full installer.
If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done. what is the full installer; you have to re-install Firefox.
What about going back to a prior version of Firefox; how do I easily do that?
I have constantly updated carefully every add-on to latest version appropriate for my computer which is old, using windows xp professional. I'm also afraid to use tune-up, that I would lose all the add-ons, extensions not allowing the browser to work properly.
I think that Firefox updates are an overreach for older computers with windows xp that can better function on an older version of Firefox. I need an expert to help me; perhaps tomorrow.
Possible fix below I found - I didn't work for this guy:
mozglue.dll = Firefox = Mozilla Foundation
Download Firefox Full Version For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then;
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder.
Linux: Check your user manual.
• Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox folders by adding .old to them.
Now run the full installer.
If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.
