Flash sites freezing firefox randomly and only help if I kill the plugin_container.exe from task manager
I reinstall firefox, remove and install flash, remove my profile totally, and flash still freezing firefox randomly when I open a flash contained site. The plugin container not working, just freezing firefox, and when I kill the plugin_container.exe in task manager only in that case appears the plugin error message in the place of the flash object.

You can remove "getplus" (shown in your plugins), the Adobe Download Manager. You do not need it and it causes problems for some users:
- http://www.msfn.org/board/remove-adobe-getplusr-t139454.html
- http://www.nosltd.com/index.php/support/support-faq
To avoid installing "getplus" for future Adobe Flash updates, follow the link in ONE of these articles:
- http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+the+Flash+plugin
- http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
- You must update both IE and "all other browsers (including Firefox)" separately; 2 downloads, 2 installs
- Vista and Windows 7 users may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
- You must check the small "I accept license..." box for the Install button to become active
To avoid installing "getplus" for future Adobe Reader updates, follow these instructions:
- Update Adobe Reader (PDF plugin):
- From within your existing Adobe Reader (if you have it already installed):
- Open the Adobe Reader program from your Programs list
- Click Help > Check for Updates
- Follow the prompts for updating
- If this method works for you, skip the "Download complete installer" section below and proceed to "After the installation" below
- Download complete installer (if you do NOT have Adobe Reader installed):
- Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below
- On the Adobe page, un-check any extra items (i.e. Free McAfee® Security Scan Plus) then click Download button
- If you see message just under tabs, DO NOT click the Allow button, instead click below that where it says "click here to download".
- Click "Save to File"; save to your Desktop (so you can find it)
- After download completes, close Firefox
- Click the installer you just downloaded and allow the install to continue
- Note: Vista and Win7 users may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Download link and more information: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox#Installing_and_updating_Adobe_Reader
- After the installation, start Firefox and check your version again.
