Everytime I use YouTube a new instance of plugin container opens so I end up with many open plugin containers soaking up memory

every time I view Flash videos on YouTube a separate instance of the plug-in container opens. I have ended up with 12 or more open using more and more resources. Should this be this way?

What problems have you been having with the 11 version flash? Adobe just recently released 11.3, I'd suggest you update to that and give it a try.
As for if plugin container is using too much RAM, it depends on what you think are "general websites". Is this flash ad heavy pages, youtube, etc. Or simple all text pages?
You can try to reset Firefox and see if that helps at all. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
Also make sure you have all Windows updates, updated your graphics driver, etc.

    Did you use the Setup Assistant available at the beginning of the new machine's setup process? Or did you use Migration Assistant later after you had set up the new machine?
    If you used Migration Assistant, you generally wind up with two accounts (the new one you set up on the new machine plus the old one you ported over) - that may explain your excessive use of space. In that case, you can either manually combine/remove all unnecessary duplicate files, or you can start over by using Command + R, wiping your drive, and downloading the OS. Once it's downloaded, use the Setup Assistant offered at the beginning of the install/setup process.

  • Safari Bug: Look-up (dictionary) doesn't work after using Youtube on new 6.1 on mountain lion and the newest version for Mavericks

    One of sever glitches that led me to "downgrade" back to mountain lion.  However, wasn't thinking and updated safari to 6.1 and I now have the same problem.  It took me a while to figure out, but now it is completely reproducible.  When I visit youtube and watch a video.  Safari's look-up, the three finger tap dictionary shortcut, no longer works.  It just highlights the word momentarily but never completes the function.
    I'm going to restore my laptop again to factory setting and just not upgrade the software to the new Safari update. 
    The main issues/bugs I had with Mavericks, even after a clean install were:
    - pdf's very freezing while scrolling for a few seconds
    - frequent spinning pin wheels
    - other small random bugs I can't recall at the moment.

    Thanks,but the problem seems to show up only after extended use of the computer.Today,for example,I didn't go to work,and turned the PC on in the morning,and by early afternoon,it was getting more and more sluggish.It finally got so bad that it locked up,and even CTL-ALT-DEL wouldn't work.

  • I use option on webpage to open something and end up with empty new tab.

    I am on a web page and there is an option to open or analyse another available page. I press the button or highlighted option. It then shows me it is transferring data and forwards me to a new tab but when it says done the new page has nothing on it. There is no option pop up allowing me to enable scripts so I end up with nothing. An example is on orange.fr. It asks if I want to see my bill (facture) I press (consulter ma facture) It appears to be loading a new page and is transferring info but the new page opens and it is empty. There is no option to allow scripts.

    Is that a PDF (Adobe Reader) file or a normal web page?

  • 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)

    Thank you

  • My eraser tool acts weirdly. Everytime i use eraser tip on my pen, I cannot change the size of it with either tablet wheel or brackets. It changes the size of a brush tool instead. This was not happening in CS6.. Any ideas?

    So this problem is annoying me. Is there any setting that has been added and this got messed up or is it a bug? In CS6 I could turn around my pen and use the eraser tip and change the size of it.
    Now in CC 2014 I can't do it. I have to manually click the Eraser tool, and then change the size. I must say this is annoying as hell.

    Reset the tool? What do you mean?
    EDIT: Never mind, i found out how to reset. I Ctrl+Right clicked and reseted both brush and eraser but it still doesn't fix the issue. I also downloaded PS CS6 version and it works fine there.. So I don't know what it is. Must be a bug in CC 2014..

  • With another user, who recently got an iPhone, everytime I send an iMessage, it turns into a text. So it ends up with her sending iMessages while I send text messages. How can I fix this

    My friend recently got an iPhone today. Before our conversations were with the green bubble, because I had an iPhone and she didn't. Now that she got her iPhone, she texted me and I received it as an iMessage, but when I would reply it would send as a text message. I have made sure that my iMessage setting are set up properly, and that he phone I marked as an I phone in the contact but it's not working

    When other users with the same 5s as I have, text her, it's iMessage as well and they're not having the same issue. I don't know why this is happening. I've tried deleting the contact and restarting my phone but nothing works

  • Getting new Instance

    Hi,
    This is the same problem which I had already posted.
    But I cant find a solution yet.
    Iam reiterating the problem in a much clear way now
    The problem i face is my jsp(user interface page) calls a servlet Class(Quetion) which has a seperate method named questionHandle(), Up to this there is no problem.
    The problem is when I try to open a fresh (new Internet Explorer) the instance of Question which is already
    created is shared with this explorer also,I dont want this to happen.
    I want a new Instance of the class (Question ) to be created each time I open the new jsp page

    Iam developing a online test application.
    It just returns some questions randomnly picked from the database

  • Using youtube as3player.as

    I have this working and it looks great. But, when I remove it from the display list and remove the event listners and null out the varibles, alot of Objects in memory from google's package com.google.youtube hanging around in memory. Is that a good way to clean all that up?

    You can not use Youtube for the host of your media files in your RSS feed with iTunes.
    The files can not be FLV format.  For the feed to be a proper RSS feed that works with iTunes you need to host the files on a true podcast host like www.libsyn.com - and upload the files as .m4v or .mp4 format - you can not do flv with iTunes.  Nor can your do wmv format. 
    There is no way to get Youtube hosted files to work with iTunes.

  • The plugin-container.exe is using 100% cpu usage???

    After I open a few different pages or tabs within the pages, the plugin-container.exe max's my cpu usage and the system hangs horribly. It comes back and then hangs again. The plugin-container is reasonable new, because I don't recall seeing it in the Task Manager. Is there a way to fix this?? I know it's related to some apple piece of garbage software that I could totally do without if that helps.
    Thanks

    Plugin-container was introduced in Firefox 3.6.4 to run certain plugins in isolation from the browser, so that when an offending plugin crashes, it does not crash the entire browser, just the tab with the offending plugin. There is information about plugin-container and a method to disable plugin-container in the following article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    If you disable plugin-container, your entire browser will crash if a plugin crashes. If you choose to disable plugin-container, restart Firefox to be sure that plugin-container closes; once started, plugin-container remains open until you restart Firefox.

  • Internet Shortcuts saved on Desktop open new instance of Firefox 3.6 using clean profile--how can I make it open all shortcuts using current profile?

    I rely heavily on Firefox's profiling ability to assist me in my web design projects. Lately, using Firefox 3.6, I have run into some problems with how it opens Internet Shortcuts that are saved locally (i.e.- shortcuts that reside on my Desktop). When I double-click on one of these shortcuts, a new instance of Firefox 3.6 is loaded with the saved website from the shortcut, but it's also initialized a fresh profile (i.e.- my bookmarks are gone, no add-ons, etc.--it's as if it uses some sort of "hidden" clean slate to load the shortcuts).
    Is there any way to force Firefox to load all shortcuts into whatever profile I'm currently using at that given moment? I think the reason this has happened to begin with is because of the fact that I did some stuff to Internet Explorer awhile back that caused some problems with the Internet Shortcut associations and it all led to this eventuality.
    I'm running Windows XP Pro and have the following profiles with my Firefox versions:
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3.6\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3.6
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox N\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p FirefoxN
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2\firefox.exe" --no-remote -p Firefox2
    When I go into the "Folder Options / File Types" and double-click on "Internet Shortcut", I have the following within the "Advanced" settings (for the "open" action):
    Action: open
    Application used to perform action: rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
    "Use DDE" is checked...
    "DDE Message" is blank...
    "Application" is "shdocvw"...
    "DDE Application Not Running" is blank...
    "Topic" is "System"
    Again, I think the root problem here is to do with the profiles and how they're handled when being opened with Firefox but I can't discern how to apply a fix with all this as I've obviously goobered this up a bit. I would really appreciate some professional knowledge on this and would prefer to avoid any reinstalls of anything if possible.

    To save your sanity with this issue, my advice is to find a method other than desktop shortcuts to open those URL's.
    1. Desktop shortcuts are going to open the Default Browser.
    a. With multiple versions of Firefox installed that would be the last version that was installed when you have Firefox set as the Default Browser in Windows..
    b. The Default Browser is going to use the Profile that shows a Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.
    c. The Default Browser with the Default Profile isn't going to open if you have any other versions of Firefox already running, and the -no-remote command line parameter doesn't work in this situation.
    2. The use of multiple Profiles and multiple versions isn't officially supported by Mozilla, and all the Bug reports that I have ever read about Requests for Enhancement have been WONTFIX'd by the developers. Basically we have to work with the limitations in Firefox and maybe improvise work arounds by ourselves. I've even seen a few threats about removing Profiles altogether in RFE Bug reports about Profiles.
    I have had so many problems over the years with this Default Browser / Default Profile thing over the years that personally I find it easier to just set Opera as the Default Browser in Windows rather than have a Profile get b0rked because some other program I am using decides it wants to open the Default Browser unexpectedly. I don't use Opera for much, but it is a lot better than IE for purposes of being the Default Browser, considering the quirks I have seen with Firefox and multiple Profiles.
    I have written a number of postings over at the MozillaZine Builds forum over the years about installing multiple versions of Firefox and using multiple Profiles. There's a lot of tips and comments provided by other multiple Profile users in one of those threads. Why don't you read those threads and see if it gives you some ideas or solutions I haven't thought of.
