Firefox crashes: Plugin-Container Issue

After the second-to-last update, I started noticing an increase in browser crashes. The issue is always that the Plugin-Container has stopped working. I understand that the plugin container's function is to prevent such problems, but it does not appear to be working. I have the latest version of Firefox, updates, etc, but that doesn't seem to be helping. Crash reports have been sent to Mozilla, but the problem is ongoing. I use my browser heavily in both standard and incognito mode for business. I've used Firefox for a long time, but if I keep losing information mid-process, I'm going to have to consider other options. If anyone has any experience with the problem or suggestions on a possible solution, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nomenica

Tumblr.com. The way the site is set up, I don't believe it shuts down images, etc, once you've loaded and passed them. It's endless scrolling, so that could potentially be a lot of loaded data.

I keep getting the following message and crash - "plugin container for firefox has stopped working." How can I fix this?

Over the last few day the interent has been crashing with the following response - "plugin container for firefox has stopped working." Why and how can I fix this issue?

Same problem here. Firefox keeps freezing, sometimes for 5 minutes, then either starts working again really slowly or I get the plug-in error crash. This last time I copied what windows said about the error. This is the info:

Don't know what it means or if it will help solve the issue, but thought I would share it.
All I know is that I am about to do something I never thought I would, switch to Chrome.

PlugIn Container NEEDS Fixing NOW. It's Useless!

I am NOT the only one fed up with this, but Mozilla still does NOTHING! *MY* newest problem with PIC.exe is that every time I run Firefox, I have TWO instances of PIC running in my Task Mgr! Can't they go back to about 2 years ago before all this happened and start over????

Sometimes when I put up multiple tabs that require plugins (like playing videos, flash files, etc.) an error message for plugin-container.exe pops up and all firefox windows/tabs closes. But I am still able to recover them, having to reload all contents.
How can I prevent this from happening? please reply, I hope a helpful person or mozilla staff sees this

I have the same problem. I've been having this problem since 3.6 update. Everytime I have multiple tabs my plugin container for firefox.exe sometimes crashes but i found out why. it sucks up so much of my memory and CPU. When my memory and CPU gets so high I have to use task manager to end process but when I do firefox runs much faster than before but still uses a little bit too much of my CPU and memory. But when I try to play videos, open new website (With ads and video clips) it happens again by using too much of my CPU and Memory. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-S460 with NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 seriess, 2GB RAM, 80GB, 1.73 Intel Centrino M and I have Windows XP Home. When I had XP Home.. the Plugin Container in firefox did the same stupid thing, then I upgraded to XP Pro and same thing again, now I am using Windows 7 Pro and only happens sometimes if i am using multiple tabs. I am so fed up with the plugin container.. Opera seems to be doing good with no crashes or slow process when i use multiple tabs but it is only slows once in a while though. But I am a loyal Firefox fan. I love Firefox but i can't stand this plugin.. its so annoying.. isn't there anyway to reduce it? If not then I guess I need to buy a new laptop and hope for the better.

Unfortunately I don't have a solution but I'm another one with this same problem so am posting this in the hope Mozilla notice and address this issue. I've got a relatively old laptop running XP pro but never had problems with older versions of firefox - which I much prefer to IE. Hopefully Mozilla are counjuring up a solution but I'm a bit disappointed they did not fully test 'container.exe' in the first place. Does anybody know if a solution is being worked on and if/when it will be released?

-There are so many posts (including this one) bumming about this problem with the only advice being DISABLE IT! I have windows7 64 intel7 4GB ram W/ 4 more external. If I have this much power+memory and this still happens-WTF? Why is the container so crappy the only solution is to disable it? I archived the message and say-FIX THIS FIREFOX or tell us how!

I've also noted a lot of bugs since 3.6. After the last Adobe Flash upgrade I've noticed a lot more problems, also. The frozen screen with the "not responding" thing is driving me nuts. This was a biggie after the upgrade to 3.6

Can I just add my dissatisfaction with plug-in container.exe. Off now to see how to disable it. I've been using Firefox for almost seven years now, but it's starting to feel as if it's time to move on. Plug-in Container seems to make it much more resource-hungry and often I have to close it, close it again in Task Manager and then open it again to get any speed back.

Your Spybot Search & Destroy didn't create a restore or backup file before making the changes? You can download a new copy as "madperson" suggested or try to locate the backup file using the information below. Your choice.
When you do a "Fix selected problems" after a "Check for problems" by default Spybot creates backups of the fixed problems to facilitate recovery. These backups (recovery files) for Spybot-S&D By default are stored in one of the following directories:
Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
''C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Recovery''
The recovery files themselves are stored in password protected zipped folders within the Recovery directory.

Tabs are no longer loading, I have disabled addon's, killed the plugin-container, nothing helps

Worked fine earlier this week. Now, the saved tabs (from session manager) just do not load. A few do but only 2-3 out of 16. I've disabled most addon's, stopped the plugin container, performed all MS updates for XP, downloaded 3.6.10 of Firefox, nothing helps. I give up.

I solved the code problem myself after a careful run through of the code, the "else" in my subclass made it so that every button other than the Add button deleted a selected entry, i quickly fixed it and made it an if statement.
Thank you for the link cotton.m
My question bout optimizing still remains though:In the beginning of my code i have it loading the entire library with the *, and i noticed after turning it into a .jar that it loads slower than i expected... would a way to speed it up be to specify exactly what i need loaded after the program is finished or would it make no diffrence?

Usally when i open a tab firefox crashes how do i fix this?

when i open a new tab it stays there until i search for something then Firefox crashes. i am running windows 7xp. and running 32.0.2 version of Firefox here is a list of my last 10 crash reports bp-a370f65d-4e60-400e-a8b3-bab8a2141011 15 minutes ago

Can I close Firefox and Plugin-container with a batch file? ANSWER: Yes. SOLUTION below.

Steps to create batch file to End process tree: "Firefox.EXE"
1. create new .txt file
2. copy/paste the following: taskkill /IM firefox.exe
3. Save
4. Rename the txt file - EndFirefoxTree.bat
5. Run from desktop at any time, give it a cute icon if you'd like!.

This works well although user will need to put the .bat file in Documents and create a shortcut to desktop in order to change the icon (of the shortcut).

Plugin-container in Firefox 4; High CPU and Graphics Switching Problems and Workaround

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4, and unfortunately, I've had many problems running Firefox under OSX on my Macbook Pro.
The first problem I came across was that Firefox is now hardware accelerated. This should be a good thing, but due to the way Apple has implemented graphics switching, Firefox caused the discreet graphics card to be used (as seen with GFXcardstatus)
To prevent this, I went into preferences, and disabled "Use hardware acceleration where available" under Advanced>General.
But my problems didn't stop there. Now, it seems Firefox has decided to run plugins such as flash under a separate process called plugin-container in order to protect the browser from plugin crashes. This is a good idea (I believe Chrome and Safari do the same), but even with hardware acceleration disabled in Firefox and Flash, plugin-container still triggered the discreet graphics.
This would actually be acceptable if plugin-container was terminated after I navigated away from the page with the flash content, but this is not what happens. Instead, plugin-container keeps using the high-powered GPU until Firefox is closed.
At this point, I thought that I'd try to force the computer to only use integrated graphics (using gfxcardstatus), but then I discovered another problem:
The plugin-container process was using large amounts of CPU time when flash content was visible in the Firefox window. Typically, viewing just a static flash ad would cause plugin-container to use about 60% (in addition to firefox using about 20%, that means 80% total). Obviously, this was a battery life problem.
After all of this I think I found a temporary workaround, but there are clearly problems here that need to be resolved by the Firefox developers. There are many non tech-savvy users who are no doubt experiencing poor battery life from these problems.
'''My Temporary Solution'''
1. Disable hardware acceleration in Firefox in Advanced > General
2. Disable hardware acceleration in Flash by right clicking a flash element, clicking settings, and then unchecking "enable hardware acceleration"
2. In about:config, search for dom.ipc and set all boolean values that appear to false. This will disable Firefox's plugin-container process for all plugins.
(At this point, if you restart Firefox, Flash will not work at all)
3. Set Firefox to 32-bit mode by getting info on Firefox.app and then checking the "Open in 32-bit mode checkbox"
4. Restart Firefox. Flash should be working with reasonable CPU usage (I had something like 20% with static flash ads as opposed to 80% before), plugin-container will be no more, and your Macbook will no longer switch to discreet graphics for Firefox or Flash.
'''UPDATE:''' It seems that firefox still sometimes causes a switch to discreet graphics for certain flash elements (video players mostly). Also, I've still seen some cases where flash elements are using large amounts of the CPU, even when they are not in the current tab.
I hope this was helpful to somebody, and if anyone has a suggestion for how to make this workaround obsolete or better, please respond.

Ive downgraded from FF4 to 3.6 at this point. The CPU usage is out of control on OS X.

Would it be wise to download v3.6.3 and downgrade? (plugin-container.exe issue)

Due to Firefox loading plugin-container.exe and taking up to 40% more resources (in version 3.6.4), would it be wise to download v. 3.6.3 here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.3/win32/en-US/ and downgrade? if so, would i need to completely uninstall 3.6.4 first? thx
== Upgrading to version 3.6.4

Because 3.6.4 had some security fixes, and you won't want to skip further fixes, there is a better option.
You'll want to disable all Crash Protection as follows:
*In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press Enter .
*The about:config ''"This might void your warranty!"'' warning page may appear.
*Click I'll be careful, I promise! , to continue to the about:config page.
*Type '''dom.ipc.plugins''' into the Filter textbox.
*Double click or right click and choose Toggle on all true/false options (other than dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs) so that they are set to '''false'''.
*You might need to restart for changes to take effect.
plugin-container.exe shouldn't be used anymore with this change.
''If you do have this problem, it would be appreciated if you could post your Flash version (if the problem is triggered by Flash), AV software, and what sites(s) trigger the high CPU usage.''

Firefox crashes after about 30 seconds

After opening a site or two, Firefox crashes without notice, nothing to do with downloads.

As we can see on your crash reports, this is a common issue that happens only on Mac OS X with Intel processor, and the crash commonly happens before 1 minute of Firefox use. It is a kernel protection failure problem, and it seems it has already been reported on Bugzilla.
The best thing you can do is keeping your computer updated and virus free and try to reset Firefox to see how it works. Also make sure the issue happens with all your sites, not only two or three.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Try also to clean your cookies and cache.
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Which is the most up to date version of FF that does not include the plugin-container ?

Hi Good People at Firefox
Firstly may I say that you have created a great product which kicked MS's ass for a long time however I'm now concerned that the latest updates are pushing my poor old desktop to the limit.
Upgraded to 4 today and the dreaded plugin container loaded yet again. On a PC with 512k memory and FF's notoriously bad memory management (i.e. it doesnt release memory when tabbed windows are closed) the plugin container is the last thing I need.
So can you tell me which is the most up to date version of FF that doesnt include the plugin-container option ? i.e. the last version of Firefox before plugin container.
I think it was version 3.?? but now I cannot revert to the previous installation to find out.
Thanks
Michael Dalton

You can disable the plugin-container in any Firefox version that uses it.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can set the pref dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process (OOPP)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Installd Ffox 3.6.15. Redo Flash AGAIN? How can I: Tweak 2 fix plugin-container crashes/hangs10X/day,and 2) Avoid need to reinstall Java, Flash,& other media plugins(Flash, Realplayr/Quiktime Alternative, Media Player Classic)? Ffox fan

plugin-container crashes and hangs many times daily all my time eaten up by upgrading too frequently to new Ffox versions, only to find that I must then spend a whole day jumping thru hoops upgrading almost all of my add-ons too.
I now find, to my horror, that the hideous virus-magnet IE 8 is needed if I want to surf at a reasonable speed and not spend all day dealing with Ffox new versions' Known Issues. Only good thing I have seen about ver. 3.6.15 is slightly better launch-times. Since 3.6 cane out, I must spend 10 minutes just waiting for Firefox to load and give me a browser screen. Help! I love you guys, but your core browser developers need to have better comms with the Javaa/flash/Adobe and other must-have add-on people! And PLEASE fix all these "plugin-container" crashes and hangs I get, that lock my machine for 10-15 min at a time. Not everybody has 16 gigs of RAM, you know! I think the "plugin-container" running as a separate process idea might need to be COMPLETELY re-engineered! YOU CAN DO IT! LET'S GET BACK TO LEAN AND MEAN, and not bloat ourselves off our hard-won User Preference / great security pedestal with the kind of feature-creep that IS DEMOLISHING IE's slave-userbase with the hard-won advanced-user preference for Firefox
and our core values. FAST-LEAN-SECURE.
Where have they gone? I LOVE Firefox
and all it stands for! Let's not trip
over our own features here. Already I
see SeaMonkey and leaner, faster
browsers hot on our heels, THIN and
FAST! Firefox doesn't need to integrate
with EVERY thru-the-browser media tool
on the planet! I've been writing code
since 1968, and I can't imagine how a
lesser-experienced user (that code
should be written for) could possibly
have navigated all the side-upgrades
and Known Issues to make Firefox run as
sweetly as it used to! He'd just give
up when he finds he has to separately
find and install the EXACT 3rd-party
version that Firefox needs for its
newest release: things like a new Java
runtime environment, and hunt down and
correctly install ALL the Flaming-Phox-
compatible buggy plugins from half the
browser-media warezmakers on the
PLANET! He'd give up halfway thru trying to navigate to, D/L, and install
what he needs from Oracle Java, Adobe,
Flash, media players and their codecs,
etc etc.... WRITE FOR THE NOOBS! As it
is, I have invested 2 full workdays in
just keeping your last 2 quick releases
happy. And having another release spaced only 3-4 days apart from the
last- well, that just doesn't fly.
Better to release a hotfix or patch that a user can set FFox to automatically D/L and self-install on
schedule. Just look! Now you've got me
talking like that lawbreaking swine
Gates! We want to keep on absorbing
the average-user center and take it ALL
away from him, not go on feature,
plugin, and upgrade-bloating the best
browser EVER!
You're facing choices that can kill
us! PLEASE DONT BLOAT! AND PLEASE ONLY
RELEASE A NEW VER WHEN YOU CAN REALLY
GET RID OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND MAKE
HER FASTER AND LEANER AND BETTER UNDER
THE HOOD! Already the Noobs are getting
mindlessly scared when you talk about
"fixing a Security problem"- really a
minor issue that SHOULD be taken care
of by their antimalware solution- in
the Release Notes splash screen they
get on install of a new ver! Thanks, my
friends, for all your work, and YES I
WILL sit here all day trying to find
the add-ons that need to be selected,
downloaded, and upgraded from 10
different 3rd-party sites who are
fighting our browser, not dancing with
it! DON'T EVEN LOOK Evil! But I have
to confess that at this point, Gates-hate is all that keeps me on
these all-day new-release tasks. Even
my best techs are starting to advise me
to install SeaMonkey or another of the
newer, thinner browsers... or just stop
upgrading Firefox and roll it back to
when it was sharp, fast, and lean! Look
at all the users wanting to go back to
3.6.13 or earlier and looking for archives of old versions. THANKS AND
GOOD LUCK! I'LL DIE BEFORE I GIVE UP ON
MY BELOVED FIREFOX!

Thanks! I've already used the built-in plugin checker but it gives very vague answers like (research this" and update this" all of which I did, starting with Java and Flash, Adobe Reader, Shockwave, 100% reinstall of Java newest ver. TWICE- but FFox keeps reporting that I only have the FORMER version installed, although when I go to Java console or Check the Flash executable at the MFR's site, there is NO doubt that the updates were successful!
But the browser just seems to refuse to acknowledge the update!
And I don't HAVE 6 hrs/day at the 'puter just to play with add-ons
and plugups. So I'm going down the line now, ripping out extension
programs and replacing/reinstalling/updating the plugins one by
one- even went to M$ to get advice on THEIR For-Firefox ActiveX
stuff. No dice so far. And yeah, The plugin-container WAS made so
that a plugin, add-on or I guess extension app failure wouldn't take
the whole FF browser down with it if the 3rd-party ware crashed. It's supposed to shake it off and go on, kinda like how XP sometimes
restarts Explorer (not the IE browser) so I don't have to reboot the
whole sys.
That was the foundation of my remark about stepping back and
re-engineering the whole "Plugin-container" idea, because it seems
to do more harm than good. Maybe that's why the Firefox core
engine won't recognize my upgrades- for example I TWICE installed the Flash update to 10.2.xx (latest ) and the Flash Mfr's
site verifies my upgrade as a successful 10.2, but Firefox plugins
check say I have a 10.1, the old one. What gives here? The sneaky
PLUGIN CONTAINER, METHINKS!
Now I'm disabling things on the Extensions Apps list, thinking
that might help, like disabling my video downloader and other
download helpers/managers... and I notice that there is a LOT of
Java stuff in there too as well as in the blue Lego Plugins List... and
in the past the FFox always told me if a new version of Ffox was
incompatible with any older 3rd-party app Extensions and notified
me QUICKLY if something I had in there was Outdated. I'm big on
using the neat-o "find updates" button at the bottom if that happens, and usually get a newer version right away. The prob
really lies in the Blue Lego Plugins and their new Container, I
believe.
So Ill still keep Plugin-innin' away! Will post here what success I have! (OR maybe M$ is deliberately sabotaging our ActiveX-cripple
mess as it loads!) Thanks for the suggestions a37271!
FIND UPDATE...FIND UPDATE.. ALL OK..ALL OK.....
"Open the Plugin Container Bay Doors, HAL! That's an Order!"
"I'm sorry Dave.... but I can't do that...."

SORRY, DAVE.... NOT POSSIBLE. WE'VE GONE TOO FAR...
DAISEE, - - - - - -DAI---SEE,

You look a little stressed-out Dave.....

Too bad.... here, breathe deep of the hard vacuum.....

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
