A repeating plug-in container issue

I am trying to update Roboform and everything seems fine until I get to the Roboform Landing where it lists all of the fixes, and then an error message pops up that says:
Can not load RoboForm add-on
Please restart browser or reinstall RoboForm
TypeError: aId is undefined
resource://app/modules/CustomizableUI.jsm(1104)
It does this when I close Firefox AND when I allow Roboform to close it. What is a plugin container issue and how can I get Roboform updated successfully? Firefox 35.0.1

hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

After Update to 19.0, Crash Frequently and Plug-in Container Issues

Ever since I updated to FF 19.0, I noticed that FF crash more often than usual, without any reason (I was in the middle of reading a website). And also the plug-in container for Adobe Flash kept consuming high cpu usage, thus slow down or even freeze FF. I have to end it before FF back to normal.
Am I the only one has problem or it's a bug in FF 19 waiting to be fixed?
Any suggestions/comments are much appreciated. Thank you.
PS: No add-on has been added, and I have cleared cache often.

Hangs, severe slowness and lock-ups running Firefox 27.0 / 28.0 on Windows XP / Is it possible to block plug-in container?

Been experiencing severe slowness and lock-ups with Firefox of late, which ends with a sudden drop in memory usage and me having to repeatedly shut it down through Task Manager. I have created a new profile and disabled hardware acceleration. I have tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions, yet I noticed that at times (not always) plug-in container was still an active process, which I don't understand. Why would it be active when there are no enabled plug-ins? I also noticed that when plug-in container is not active (showing under Processes in Task Manager) I do not have this problem and Firefox runs normally? I need to block plug-in container. Please help.

I have just tried on Windows 7 and used process explorer on that. I would expect the results to be displayed in a similar manner on Windows XP.
Plugin-container is shown as being run from Firefox, and in turn if I mouse over or left click the line for plugin-container .exe then under ''command line'' it tells me what is running, in my case at this instance it is Flashplayer and so it displays
.... \Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_12_0_0_77.dll .... plugin ....
It is identifying it is FlashPlayer
The worry with your apparently unknown operation is that within the plugin-container it may be safe but if plugin-container is disabled maybe it could be malware and cause a problem.

Plug-in container has stopped working. No printing from web

Went to print a receipt from a web page and got firefox 'not responding'. Then error message after I click to close..."plug-in container has stopped working". I have reset ff, i have uninstalled and reinstalled. flash is up to date. I have EWPS plug in (I have an epson printer) and E web page plug in.
When I checked in my pc for the ewps, it doesn't open but says it needs plug in container and to re download e-web print. did that. No better.
Not an epson issue as other stuff prints.
Please help
thanks

I'm trying to figure out what plugin(s) the problem page is using.
Are there other pages on the site (same host name, e.g., www.example.com) that do not lock up Firefox? If so, please open one of those pages and then switch all the plugins to "Ask to Activate" for the site. Here's what I mean:
Click the padlock or globe in the address bar and then click "More Information". At the top of the Page Info dialog, click Permissions. Then, in the plugins section, click "Always Ask" for each one and close the dialog.
The next time you visit the problem page, Firefox should show a bar telling you which plugin needs to be activated. Actually, this might not kick in until after you exit and start Firefox up again.

I m using FF 6.0.2. I check in the Process (task manager) plug-in container using up 78% of CPU. why? i m gonna leave the FF.

i m using FF from a long time. Now FF rated like a 3rd class browsers.
full cpu usage, system halt, and generating many other probs.
Plz check the Plug-in container.
i m using 2 plug-ins Fire bug & greasemonkey

I am facing this issue since FireFox 5, 6.01 and now 6.02.
I have tried the following steps:-
1) Upgrade to 6.0.2 and update to latest plugin/add-on
2) Uninstall and Install only FireFox
3) Uninstall, Remove FireFox Folder and Install only FireFox
4) Uninstall, Remove FireFox Folder, Delete Registry and Install only FireFox
All of the action above does not even resolved it. CPU will still Spike to 78%.
Average CPU usage when submitting a request is about 46% ~78%
By the way, I am running on Windows XP SP3, and 4GB RAM.
Please advice what can be done.

Why does this constantly occur?

'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar
Select '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.

How do I fix firefox, which hangs when plug in container starts?

Firefox hangs or freezes & I can't click on anything when plug in container shows up (see it in task manager).

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Flash 11.3.300.257, in particular, can cause crashes. Please check out these articles:
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Not a question! Simple advice!!! DUMP the crap Plug In Container!

Fed up with constantly receiving "plug in container stopped responding" messages. This is undoubtedly the worst idea you guys have had! Ever!
It always seems to happen about seven eighths of the way into a movie or other event that I'm trying to watch.
Firefox IS up to date but I'm not sure this is a good thing either since some of my codecs which worked great previously are listed as "incompatible!"
FIX IT!!!!!

EXCESSIVE MEMORY HOGGING BY PLUG-IN CONTAINER.EXE

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/794119]''
I have recently noticed (last 1-2 Firefox Updates) that plug-in container.exe is hogging a lot of memory 307.7K - disabling plug-ins does NOT reduce this use - ANY PLUG-INS I SHOULD REMOVE??? OR 1) is this normal, 2) any suggestions to reduce if NOT normal??? Thank you!!!

Disable the new plugin crash protection (Out of Process Plugins or OOPP) feature in Firefox 3.6.4 (and later versions) by going to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] (check the link for details) and then toggle the individual dom.ipc.plugins.enabled. preferences to false.
-type '''about:config''' in the URL/address/location bar and press the Enter key
-if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
-Filter = dom.ipc
-on any set to true, double-click to set to false
-restart Firefox
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Microsoft Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (Apple QuickTime)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Adobe Flash)
Note: The dom.ipc.plugins.enabled preference should already be set to "false", by default. This preference covers all other plugins not specified by an individual filename.
If you are only having a problem with a specific plugin, such as the Adobe Flash Player plugin, just disable that one preference.

Whatwhere is the plug-incontainer? happened to the plug-in container? it disappeared with the latest version and now firefox freezes multiple times each day.

I don't see the plug-in container in the Windows Task manager since the last update of Firefox and now FF is freezing multiple times a day (since the previous update, before yesterday's). It takes several minutes after I see this until it unfreezes, and it's quicker to "end task" and re-start Firefox than wait. This most often seems to happen when the computer's been idle for awhile, rather than when I'm using it.

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall.

The plug in container module uses over 80%, when the browser is loaded, even if I'm not using it, Can I reduce the cpu request or is there another flash i can use?

I am running a Dell Optiplex GX 110 with a Intel 111 processor 500 MHz and 256 MB of ram. I know its old and outdated but so am I. And up until the new upgrades we were both working just fine. I have the latest software updates and my system is clean as a whistle and totally optimized and was fast as ever until i installed the plug in container. I even disabled all the plug ins but java and flash but it made no difference.

I'm going to guess that your battery life is also not so hot. What I suspect is happening is thatbthe pad is locked into an update loop with I cloud. As an example, if you have addresses that do not agree, the cloud back up will continue to try and correct itself, using both battery and wifi ( or cell). It may also be an app trying to uzpdate itself.
To troubleshot, try turning thigs off. If you are using the cloud, turn off all syncing and see it the problem stops. Then turn them back on, one by one, until you find the culprit. If it is an app, it may be harder to find, but the steps are the same. Turn off all notifications, and uninstall anything you added around the time the problem started.
A frequent culprit is magazine, comic, and newspaper subscriptions, that are constantly trying to update themselves.
Keep looking, you will find it.

Plug-in container keeps starting and making my pc drag almost to a stop have tried to update everything would like to turn it off

Several sites have videos that start up whenever you visit whether you want to see them or not ...most are ads. Whenever I go to any site that does this my computer gets to a point that my mouse jumps all over the place and it slows to a point of not being able to use it, I have to go to task manager to stop it ....then it starts right back up when I change the page. It is always the plug -in container and if left to run the memory just goes higher and higher. I would like to just turn it off at this point, it makes my pc pretty much useless. It has something to do with the adobe flash player and I have updated it more than once but still no luck. The guesses look about right about os etc.

First off, seeing that you are running WinXP you would be better off using the older Flash 10.3.183.90 version - aka Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183. The Flash 11.0 and later versions of Flash have a "sandbox" that isn't compatible with WinXP and it doesn't provide any better security than 10.3 r183 has. Adobe kept updating the older 10.3 version specifically for WinXP users until a few months before Microsoft ended support for WinXP, so it isn't even a year old yet.
The other thing to do is to set Adobe Flash to '''Ask to Activate''' in the Addons Manager > Plugins tab, so that Flash won't run until you allow it to run.

Vista x64, Dell Laptop Lately I have been getting audio ads from Lysol etc which I can stop by deleting the process plug-in container Iknow how to delete this process but why does the audio ad run despite the application of two well known antivirus progs?

Oh, PLEASE IGNORE the line:
deleted everything under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\SYSTEM (folders 0000 to 0004)
That was left there inadvertedly. Can't seem to find the edit button here...
