Sometimes a plugin-container.exe instance starts hogging a ton of memory -- I would like to know which plugin is running inside that plugin-container without having to one-by-one disable the plugins. Which process called plugin-container.exe?

As described above, I have several instances of plugin-container.exe running, which is OK. It would make me feel safer to know which plugins are running inside each of these, since I would be better able to know whether there is malware running inside one of them, or which website might have made the process start hogging memory.
I am a power user, I usually have 80-100 tabs open, and of course it is hard to track the website or plugin down without having to waste a lot of time.
Could you provide in future releases this information?
Is it already available under one of the about: pages (e.g. config, plugins, memory, etc?)

Thanks Efreak! <br><br>
Maybe I was not clear. I usually have 4-5 plugin-container.exe processes running. I know now that the large one that hogs is the Adobe Flash player, but, for example I don't know which plug-in initiated the other plugin-container.exe instances.<br><br>
One of them actually says "googletalkplugin.exe" if you dig deep, which is OK. At least I know why the plugin-container.exe was started. But there are other instances that are just there and there is no way to figure out which plug-in initiated it.<br><br>
This would of course also help figure out if it is really the Adobe Flash plug in that is hogging all the memory, OR even if within Firefox in the about: pages one could figure out which TABS are using which plug-ins.
Like that you could freely choose to terminate the process directly, or close the TAB.<br><br>
1) What I am looking for is a way to determine which plug-in is running under which instance of plugin-container.exe<br>
2) Additionally it would be great to have a summary of which TABS are using which plugins (e.g. in the about:plugins page or yet another about: page)
<br><br>
Thank you

    Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
    There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
    And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
    Good luck.

  • I work in schools and would like to know what if a school opens an iTunes account to purchase apps, how many iPads can the same app be loaded onto legally?

    I work in schools and would like to know if a school opens an iTunes account to purchase apps, how many iPads can that app be loaded onto legally?

    One iPad per purchase, assuming the iPads will be used by different users. If the school wants to purchase an app for multiple iPads, they have to have one license for each iPad. In the US, there's an academic volume purchase plan:

  • I would like to know what app can I use on a plane to find out on a map where the plane is flying over?

    I have been many times on a plane and when I look out the window and I see something interesting I would like to know where is that place on a map, but all the map applications that I have require an internet connection to display the map.  I have downloaded some offline maps but they don't use the GPS to locate the place in the map.
    Please tell me if there is an app that has offline maps where I can locate my current position while I am on a plane without internet connection.

    TomTom, Garmin and others do this. But your problem is when you put your iPad in Airplane mode you will turn off the GPS chip.

  • I would like to know how to contact someone in Verizon corporate to file a complaint.  I have received the absolute WORST customer service over the last week from this company! The customer service agents promise to call me back and then never do.  The la

    Verizon Wireless has the absolute worst customer service I have ever received.  The in store reps are unprofessional and spend more time texting and taking personal cell phone calls than in helping customers.  They are not at all knowledgeable and even state they do not know what they are doing.  When you call customer service you get jerked around and passed from one person to the next with no one knowing how to fix my billing issue.  I have received NO call backs that were promised and the latest person I spoke to was incredibly rude.  Sanita from Sacramento refused to even give me her last name or the last name of her Manager Nick so that I could follow up.  I am incredibly disappointed at how poorly I have been treated.  I will make sure to tell everyone I know about this experience and as soon as my contract has expired I WILL be leaving Verizon services after 10 years with the company!!

    This is a customer to customer forum, so this is not the place.
    What is going on with your account? maybe we can help you.

  • I would like to know if I'll have an all new iPhone or a reconditioned one with the Apple Express Replacement process ?

    Today I've launched the Express Replacement Process for my iPhone 5 which have dead pixels. I would like to know if UPS will bring me an all new iPhone 5 or a reconditioned one.
    Tks !

    There is no way of knowing. And, ss the reconditioned one will be indistinguishable from new, it doesn't make uch difference.

    Did you fail to look at the requirements before purchasing?
    All sales are final.  You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception

  • I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
    When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
    I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • My kids set up itune account on my computer and no one remembers the password.  I want to start my own itunes account, but I would like to get some of the music off this account.  Any suggestions?

    my kids set up itune account on my computer years ago and no one remembers the password.  They started new accounts on their macs.   I want to start my own itunes account, but I would like to get some of the music off this account.  Any suggestions?

    The easiest way would probably be to recover the data of the old account and change it to match your current info, after that you can continue to use the account without any problems. To recover your account go to: Apple - My Apple ID
    Alternatively if you want to start a new account do it and then contact iTunes support to see if the y can transfer your purchases (I know of cases on which they have done it)

  • I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work

    I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work.

    Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files.   Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file.  Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
    Just a for-your-info:
    Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh.

  • IP precedence CS1 vs. dscp af11 Which one is higher in the hierarchy, which marking will be given priority?

    IP precedence CS1 vs. dscp af11
    Which one is higher in the hierarchy, which marking will be given priority / processed first?
    With dscp AF11, 12, 13
    I believe that af11 will be processed first, having a lower drop priority.
    AF11 has a decimal value of 10, AF12 of 12 and AF13 a decimal value of 14.
    Even though the decimal values increase, higher values (within the class) mean more likely to be dropped.
    Of course, AF21 will have a decimal representation of 18 and there the logic restores itself as AF21 is given higher priority than AF1x.
    My question is this, if within a class, lower is better, does that mean that an ip precedence value of CS1 is given preferential treatment (having a decimal representation of 8)? How exactly do the IP precedence / dscp csales stack up against each other? (apart from being compatible, that is)
    At any rate, which is processed first:
    AF11 or CS1?
    Thank you.

    In theory, CS1 should be treated as higher than AF11.  AF11 would be closer to CS1.  That being said, your QoS policies can be configured to do whatever you want so your switch may be configured to drop CS1 way before it drops AF11.
