I want to separate Flash players into multiple instances of plugin-container.exe

Let's say I'm watching a video online and I feel like playing a Flash game while watching it. Let's also assume that this Flash game, like many others, has no volume options and is obnoxiously loud, drowning out the video.
All running Flash players (even between separate windows of Firefox) share the same process, so if I try to drop the volume of the game in Windows 7, it drops the volume of the video as well.
Is there some way to get firefox to load Flash players into separate process so that Windows can give me volume control over each? Perhaps there is an addon that does this?
P.S. I tried the -no-remote command line option on Firefox, but it turns out that each instance of firefox.exe requires a separate profile (which is an issue if the game uses cookies). I'd rather be able to get one instance of firefox.exe to use multiple instances of plugin-container.exe.

Multiple instances of "plugin container" running

I have consistently had up to five instances of plugin container running in the background...
* Windows Vista 32 bit build Ver 6.0 SP 2
* Firefox 4.0x
So far nothing can be attributed to web browsing behavior.
Thanks

There is a known issue where multiple instances of plugin container open if history or cookies are cleared. Are you, or some utility clearing firefox cookies or history, that could be the reason. This problem continues even if plugins are disabled in Firefox.
*Are you opening multiple instances of Flash Player ?
* Is the problem reproducible ? <br/> for instance does it always crash the plugin or cause it to hang if you use a particular site ?
If you get the FlashPlayer plugin crashing use the option to submit the crash reports, it is then possible to follow them up. It is possible to stop the plugincontainer opening, but that could result in a firefox crash. Of course the firefox crash can also send crash reports out, and that could be useful.
* see [[plugin crash reports]]
* [[what is plugin-container]]
* [[firefox crashes]]
There are some problems with FlashPlayer currently under investigation, and there may be other threads in the forum about problems. (e.g. Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs )
Sometimes using Firefox 3.6 is a workaround that helps with FlashPlayer problems, if you wish to experiment with that consider installing firefox Portable and using Firefox 3.6.23 (or soon 3.6.24) for tests with flash player, whilst keeping firefox 7 for day to day browsing.

Firfox slowing way down or hanging and task manager has multiple sessions of "plugin-container.exe *32" running.

I'm running Win 7, Firefox 10.0.2 and all my plug-ins are up to date. I'm having issues with Firfox slowing way down or hanging, let say like when going to Youtube or site that just has a picture that uses Flash. I go to task manager and have multiple sessions of “plugin-container.exe *32" running at anywhere from 2,000k to over 300,000k (only one at the larger amount and most at 2m to 8m). I have to kill the multiple processes to get it running right again.

Hi kb11,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of good information in there that should help.
Hopefully this helps!

Multiple instances of plugin-container

Hello,
Whenever I start FF 4, I get well counted 23 instances of plugin-container.exe! This is since I upgraded to FF4. Here is how it exactly goes:
I double-click on firefox.exe; I get to the startpage (the FF-google startpage); I go to taskmanager and count alot(!) of plugin-container.exe
When I browse, it's not really slow, but when I get to a youtube video or something with flash FF really slows down mij whole pc.
Then I manually close all exe's and just browse on. It says "plugin crashed", but that's no problem because Ff will start a new one.
I have winXP prof service pack 3
Thanks alot!

How can I separate one column into multiple column?

How can I separate one column into multiple column?
This is what I have:
BUYER_ID ATTRIBUTE_NAME ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
0001 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0001
0001 EMAIL [email protected]
0001 CURRENCY USD
0002 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0002

0002 CURRENCY USD
0003 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0003
0003 EMAIL [email protected]
0003 CURRENCY CAD
This is what I would like to have:
BUYER_ID PHONE_NUMBER EMAIL CURRENCY
0001 555-555-0001 [email protected] USD
0002 555-555-0002 [email protected] USD
0003 555-555-0003 [email protected] CAD
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is another solution. Suppose your actual table's name is test(which has the redundant data). create a table like this:
CREATE TABLE test2 (BUYER_ID number(10),PHONE_NUMBER varchar2(50),EMAIL varchar2(50),CURRENCY varchar2(50));
then you will type this procedure:
declare
phone_number_v varchar2(50);
EMAIL_v varchar2(50);
CURRENCY_v varchar2(50);
cursor my_test is select * from test;
begin
for my_test_curs in my_test loop
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO phone_number_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='PHONE_NUMBER';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO EMAIL_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='EMAIL';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO CURRENCY_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='CURRENCY';
INSERT INTO test2
VALUES (my_test_curs.person_id,phone_number_v,EMAIL_v,CURRENCY_v);
END LOOP;
END;
Then you will create your final table like this:
create table final_table as select * from test2 where 1=2;
After that write this code:
INSERT ALL
into final_table
SELECT DISTINCT(BUYER_ID),PHONE_NUMBER,EMAIL,CURRENCY
FROM TEST2;
If you have a huge amount of data in your original table this solution may take a long time to do what you need.

Adobe Flash Player not anymore in the plugin-container?

Hello,
i updated Firefox to 13.0 and FlashPlayer to 11.3 r300.
Now when i want to look a youtube video etc. not the plugin-container but 2 processes called FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_300_257.exe handle the flash video (playing music, want to connect to the internet etc.).
Is it normal, that the FlashPlayer is now a standalone process and not anymore isolated in the plugin-container?
Thank you!

Plugin-container.exe makes my computer hang forever. i don't want my older pc to get overheated over this and bail out on me

plugin-container.exe is making my cpu get to 100% immediately i go online.
i first thought i got a virus somewhere, but no virus scan could find it. only then i checked the cpu usage to see what makes it go crazy, and it's plugin-container.exe, a program i thought legit, else i would've searched and destroyed it. turns out i'm not the only one having this trouble so guys, please do something about it. in the mean time i'm going back to 3.6.3 and hoping you solve this soon.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after the update to 3.6.6.

I found the way to stop using plugin-container.exe from somewhere and it works.
Steps to stop plugin-container.exe process:
* Open Firefox web browser.
* Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter key.
* A warning will appear. Ignore it and press the "I』ll be careful, I promise!" button.
* In the Filter field type dom.ipc. Six preferences will appear for the filter dom.ipc.
* Ignore first and last preferences. Toggle (double-click) each of the four remaining preferences to change the value from "true" to "false".
Explanation: The crash protection feature in Firefox 3.6 is enabled for certain plugins only. The four preferences that we modified here specifies four different out-of-process plugins. They are the the NPAPI test plugin, Adobe Flash, Apple QuickTime (Windows) and Microsoft Silverlight (Windows). These plugins are specified in a separate dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.<filename> preference by default is set to true. We can disable them by changing their value to false. And thus plugin-container.exe will not run. By default the preference dom.ipc.plugins.enabled is already set to "false". So, no need to touch it. The dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs is also not important here as other values are false.

What causes multiple "plugin-container.exe" to run simultaneously?

I sometimes have up to four "plugin-containers" running simultaneously. What causes that AND what are the possible ramifications of that?

plugins like flash & java etc that are currently running on sites are outsourced into the plugin-container.exe-process that you've discovered for performance and stability reasons - you can have a look at your currently installed plugins in tools > addons > plugins & disable those you don't need.
in one of the upcoming releases firefox will ship with a feature that allows you to enable plugins on vistited sites on a per-demand basis, [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Opt-in_activation_for_plugins]

Firefox 7.0.1 multiple plugin-container.exe's open when private data is cleared.

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/823728]]</blockquote>
Once again it's happening, although it's not causing me any serious problems it's a bug none the less. Occasionally when I clear my private data multiple plugin-container.exe's will open. Although this time for the most part the maximum I've seen is 4 or 5. Unlike the max of 9 that occurred with version 4. In addition I noticed that it was either with version 5 or 6 that this issue was solved. As when I cleared private data only 1 plugin-container.exe opened.

I can't believe this is still happening. For a while there with version 6.0 I think it was fixed. Now however that I've updated to 7.0.1 it's once again a regular occurrence.

Firefox freezes on certain flash apps, can only be solved by ending plugin-container.exe

Since I've updated to flash 11 and Firefox 9.0.1 my browser is freezing contantly. I found out it can only be helped by ending the Plugin-Container.exe process in the task manager. After I end this process my browser works fine again, but all my flash applications crash.

Hi!
   It works fine, thanks! But this lead to some questions
   - Where do I find infos on editing application generated .ini files?
   - Isn't there a way to do this for an application build with "application builder"? Or should i tell user to manually edit .ini file?
   Really thanks again!

Split file into multiple Instance of an IDoc .

My file (only one file) in the file system contains multiple entities(lets say sales order).Now using File adapter I want to transfer this file into XI and want XI to create multiple instance of an IDoc(for each sales order) and send them to the target system one by one.
Alternatively can I split the file into multiple entities(sales order) in the file adapter (using dispatcher for e.g) and send multiple message to the configured XI automatically.
Is any of the alternative possible in XI20.
Any responce would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Bikky.

Hi,
You can get the file adapter to split the file without the need for a dispatcher user exit. The config goes a little like this:
mode=FILE2XMBWITHSTRUCTURECONVERSION
xml.recordsetStructure=SALES_ORDER,1
xml.recordsetsPerMessage=1
This last parameter ensures each sales order is posted to the integration engine as a separate message. Therefore a separate Idoc is created for each.
Hope this helps.

How to install FB into multiple instances of Eclipse

I have multiple instances of eclipse (various versions and
combinations of plugins) and want to know how to install FB into
one than one instance of Eclipse?

You need to pass a reference of the StatisiticalStore instance to the ExcelReader class. See the updated code below.
public class StatisticalStore
     static int evaluatedDataLength = 3;
     private double forecasts[];
     static int x=0;
     public StatisticalStore()
          initialiseStore();
     public void initialiseStore()
          forecasts = new double [evaluatedDataLength];
     public void updateStore(double singlePrediction)
          forecasts[x] = singlePrediction;
          x++;
     public static void main (String args[])
          StatisticalStore store = new StatisticalStore();
          ExcelReader excelSheet = new ExcelReader(store);
          ExcelReader excelSheet1 = new ExcelReader(store);
          ExcelReader excelSheet2 = new ExcelReader(store);
          for ( int i=0; i<evaluatedDataLength; i++)
               System.out.println(store.forecasts);
class ExcelReader
     double aNumber;
     StatisticalStore store;
     public ExcelReader(StatisticalStore aStore)
          store = aStore;
          generateRandom();
          updateStatisticalStore();
     public void generateRandom()
          aNumber = Math.random();
     public void updateStatisticalStore()
          store.updateStore((aNumber*store.evaluatedDataLength)-1);
