I get an error messge the Plugin container for Firefox failed
It causes Firefox to freeze up and I have to manually shut off my laptop.
This means that you have downloadd the file from the internet, and the file did not download completely so the computer can't play it. To fix this, just re-download the file and make sure it finishes.

Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox?
Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox? Ever since I updated, my firefox browser has been crashing almost every day and it always says that the plugin container crashed, but the rest of firefox freezes up as well, so I am forced to end the process itself.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default in Firefox 3.6.6)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime) -
Many sites now say that a script is unresponsive. And by unresponsive I mean that the whole browser slows to a crawl and it can take ~20 minutes to get 2 pages loaded.
Also, I sometimes get a popup window saying the the plugin container has stopped working.
This whole issue is making Firefox unusable. I cringe to say it, but I'm currently in IE. :-/See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins

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. -
Firefox crashes with error message: "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working"
When I open Firefox it seems to be working fine for one minute, then everything freezes and I receive the following error message:
"Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working
--> Check online for a solution and close the program
--> Close the Program"
Neither option restores Firefox and I'm left with a frozen (white blurry Not Responding) screen. When I click on the X button, then I get the regular "Firefox is not responding" message and the whole program just shuts down.
Should I disable all plugins and / or this plugin container? How can I do that, if Firefox keeps crashing?
Basically, how can I fix this? Thanks a lot!I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
It appears this forum is dead?!
Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem... -

Firefox seems to crash alot for me and when it does a window pops up telling me the problem is with my Plugin Container for firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox many times and than installed the new version. Well today my McAfee popped up and told me that the program Plugin Container for Firefox want to access the Internet. Either I can allow it, allow it once or block it. I do not know what I should do.

How do I suppress "plugin container for firefox has stopped working" ?
I am doing some Flash programming and using Firefox to debug. Every time I end the debug session from Flash Builder I get the error "Plugin container for firefox has stopped working". Is there a way to suppress this false error message? There is not a problem with the container or any plugins, simply that Firefox thinks the container has crashed because it is being closed by the IDE. I have already had to change several options to suppress false error alerts, but just seem to get new ones like this.
Firefox uses the plugin-container process to run plugin out of the current Firefox process (Out-Of-Process-Plugins) and you may not see the plugin mentioned. Flash uses protected mode by default and that causes two plugin-container processes to be active.
*http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working ~ DivX Web Player plugin crashed
Hi Everyone,
Probably I should begin by saying anything computer-related is like walking blindfold in a pitch dark room. Seriously "tech-impaired" here (i'd go to someone who knows but tight budgets are a pain too... so if anyone here could help fix this I'd be forever thankful.
The first part of the title line is what appears to me in a little message window. YouTube and Hulu work OK, but there's this site "Icefilms (dot) info" -the one that I mostly use- that's the one with the problem.
It was all working just fine until last Monday night (June 20/2011) and it's not just with Firefox that I have this problem, cause when i tried to use Google Chrome it was the same thing, which makes me think it's not an Internet browser problem, I tried changing Firefox (5) to an older version, but instead of just the video widow, the whole thing crashes.Google Earth Plugin

First I get a message that says: non responsive script on page with the options to continue or stop script. Then I notice at the top of the window Mozilla Firefox(non responsive). Then when I click the "X" to exit I get the box from Microsoft Windows which says:" Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Loud static on speakers which disappear when I mute Plugin Container for Firefox on Volume Mixer
When I started my laptop this problem appeared. There is no static when I mute the speakers on Volume Mixer, which mutes Speakers, Windows Sounds and Plugin Container for Firefox.
When I only mute Plugin Container for Firefox it also silences the static.
Could the problem be here?Welcome to the HP Support Forums! JohnWhite,
I understand that your speakers on your HP Pavilion g7-2325dx Notebook PC continues to emit sound when you plug your headphones in and that you got an error stating "audio device isn't set as default". I will try my best to help you with this.
Try the following steps.
1. Click Start
2. Go to Control Panel
3. Select "Hardware and Sound"
4. Select "Sound"
5. Right click the box and choose "Show Disabled Devices"
6. Make sure that your audio device is enabled for your notebook. It should have a green check mark.
7. Then in your Audio system under the Enhancements tab, check the box for "disable all enhancments".
If this does not resolve your issue, then I suggest reinstalling the audio software and driver Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8).
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Take care and have a great day!

"plugin container for firefox stopped working" I'm just your average joe thx
source: "plugin container for firefox" summary: "stopped working"
in addition I receive messages "firefox stopped responding" never had this before, and on the lower task bar when ff and outlook are open, they will "swap places" ThanksUpdate
Ok so after uninstalling quicktime then scrubbing the hard drives for any and all associated files/folders and then cleaning the registry, rebooting then reinstalling quicktime it works, but only 60 % of the time (seems as though if you have opened any kind of drop down list or used a diff plugin on that page already the quicktime plugin and firefox hang. If you open the page and use the quicktime plugin before anything else it semms to be ok.
Zsolto Chrome really!!!!! With the amount of information gathered by Google and the things they do with it which are borderline criminal if not criminal why on earth would you use such a program???
There is an open source version out there created by other people that is just as good and doesn't monitor your every move. -
