Plugin Container Causing System To Lag
I upgraded Firefox to version 13.0x and when I did my browsing went down the tubes. When I wasn't getting unresponsive script errors I was simply waiting almost two minutes before I could proceed or in some cases type the next character.
Chosen solution
I restarted Firefox disabling all of the add-ins and it appears to work normally. (with out all the things that the plugin's do)
I've started enabling all of my add-ins plugins and extensions one at a time and I've come up with the following plugin that is causing an error on my system. Shockwave Flash
Once I enable this plugin my browsing experience goes down the tubes. I don't know why this particular item is suddenly causing problems after the upgrade but it appears to be. Firefox itself appears to be blocked waiting on a callback from the flash player. After about a minute passes, then the flash player will continue and the page works as the author designed it to. Once I disable the plugin again, then the performance of Firefox is restored.
Since this is my work computer, I believe that I can live without this plugin without issue. I would however like to find out what changed with Firefox that caused this to suddenly stop working.

I believe setting dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false causes all plugins to run as part of the firefox.exe process rather than in a separate plugin-container.exe process. That might or might not be faster, probably depends on the page.
Because Flash is ubiquitous on the web, used for videos, menus, ads, and so forth, it may not be obvious when you are using Flash. You might want to see whether anything in this article helps: Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox.
With those settings only Silverlight is run in the plugin-container process (enable is true will override the global dom.ipc.plugins.enabled = false)
- dom.ipc.plugins.enabled = false
- dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll = true
If you disable OOPP for a plugin then the plugin may crash Firefox instead.
If you can't get Flash 11.3 to work and need to revert to Flash 11.2 then you can download the Flash 11.2 player via this direct link:

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

You need to uninstall the Flash 11.3 version.
