McAfee is blocking Plugin Container for FF. C:\programfiles\mozilla firefox\plugin-container.exe. Is this safe for me to override McAfee's sugg?

I really don't know what a plugin or extention is. Currently I'm running a small calendar and a small weather widget on my screen. These have been installed for several years, before I installed McAfee last year.
Waiting to hear from you to tell me if I should "always allow, Allow once, or Block". Thank you. Karen

hello JCW2 - yes, it's a legitimate part of firefox - all plugins (like flash videos) are running within plugin-container.exe, so it should be allowed full access to the internet for plugin content to work properly (i'm not sure what "FTPZone" means within your firewall though)...

  • Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly

    Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. FOR THE UMPTEENTH DAMN TIME... HOW DO I FIX THIS on Firefox 3.6.13!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    ''edited by a moderator - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines ''

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • I get the following message: Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. What do I do?

    the message:" Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly" appears regularly in my maintenance center. I am on Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.17

    I had the same type of failure. It was caused by a FF upgrade from V4 to V9.1. Dearing 1955 did not say what version caused the problem. My USB ports started acting up. I could not install the Webcam that was installed before. The HP Scanner of my OJ 8500 stopped working (USB). Did get it to work via Wireless. Removing FF did not clear the problem. Believe I have infected USB driver now.

  • Where can I get the Mozilla Firefox plugin-container missing

    I dl the new Firefox 4.0 and did not like it so uninstalled it. Reinstalled the Firefox 3.6 and had trouble with it coming up. After a couple of hours it finally started to work. Yesterday it would not even open up or try to load. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still will not even try to load up. Did a check of problems and it said Mozilla Firefox plugin-container was missing. Tried to find it and have been unable to do so. I really like Firefox. What do I need to do.

    i used this one: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-28.0&os=win&lang=en-US

  • Is this safe for the macbook?

    to use on battery till about 50 percent and then hook it up to the charger? sorry for the noob question?

    Just to clarify as it's not clear in your original question. There is often a misconception that you need to fully discharge the battery before recharging it again. While this is true for nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries, this is not the case for lithium ion/polymer batteries.
    I'm just mentioning this in case you were asking because you thought you should be fully discharging the battery before recharging it. With the battery in your MacBook, the "more" you use it on battery, the more quickly you will shorten the life of your battery. Fully discharging your battery on a regular basis can drastically shorten its life.

  • I am the developer of a Mozilla Firefox Plugin, I would like to get some contact from your support to get the permission or any certificate for my actual extension.

    Hello, I've developed a firefox extension, I would like to know what should I need to do to get any certificate or acceptance to be a full legit extension, my website provides this plugin to watch online movies and tv shows, and uses this plugin to replaces adblocks from different websites, just like AdBlocker but not removing them, just replacing them. Similar functionality as MegaKey.
    This functionality is clearly detailed in our Terms & Conditions.

    If you want to try, you likely need to wait thru the weekend...

  • What is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe keep crashing computer.grrr

    last week pc worked fine...
    this week downloaded 3.6.4 firefox and everything now crashing cant use u-tube or or listen again facility...
    come on fire fox get your act together...

    The Malwarebytes web page is available. I just checked it, so the problem is somewhere on your end.
    That '''''Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED)''''' makes '''rjohnson19''''s suggestion valid. I did not see that in your initial post.
    Did the problem start ''<u>'''immediately'''</u>'' following your un-install of McAfee and install of Norton?
    Did you use the McAfee removal instructions (including the McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool (MCPR.exe))? See: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507
    Note that Norton also has a removal tool: http://service1.symantec.com/support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
    *Is Norton properly configured for Firefox? See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls
    *Are you having problems accessing any web sites other than anti-malware sites?
    *Have you tried updating Norton? Does it update?
    *Try going to the McAfee site and see if you can get in.
    *Did you try to download Malwarebytes from another non-infected computer at another location as I suggested?
    *You may also need to access that Malwarebytes forum page from another non-infected computer.
    *Call a friend, give them the addresses and see if they can access both of the Malwarebytes addresses.
    *If they can, then that will confirm what I suspect; that you have a malware infection that will keep you from downloading, installing or updating anti-malware applications.
    If this is being caused by malware, you may need help from one of these expert sites (all free, just read their requirements and follow the instructions they give you):

  • Mozilla Firefox is my internet browser, I would like to download my McAfee Anti-Virus protection DVD.

    I have a new Window 7 Premium Home Edition,Model: Inspiron 560. It came with a 30 day free trail of McAfee Anti-Virus Protection, which expires in less than three days. Roughly, two weeks ago, I received in the mail from QVC, a DVD, named PC Treasures, Inc.-Total PC Software Suite, which has my four year McAfee Anti-Virus Protection program on it.
    I was told by one of those so-called Dell experts techs, to install that DVD, into the tray of your modern, a small box would appear in the left-hand bottom of your screen, and type in "RUN". Nothing happened!!! Now,the PC that I had for 15 years, did this, but with this new one, not the same.What do I do, in installing or down loading this DVD? I could use a step by step instructions.

    This does not sound to be a Firefox problem.
    An obvious question is does your machine play DVDs ?
    You will probably need to be in an admin account.
    You should be able to use your Firefox browser to find assistance.
    * try http://home.mcafee.com/root/support.aspx <-- clickable link --
    ( If the DVD is provided by and bought from Dell you may need to contact them that is apparently http://support.dell.com/ )

  • What is Mozilla Firefox Plugin sjhujm (v. 8.2.30.1147)

    there is no info on the above plugin on your site. It is taking FF between 7 and 12 minutes to open after clicking on the icon. I have done everything you suggested multiple times and is still slow opening. Can the above plugin be fake and causing the problem. My security software and malware detector can't find any reason for it either.

    Could possibly be malware with such a 'seductive' name.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_toolbars
    Extensions that do not have a "Remove" button are installed by other software and are not under control of the Firefox extension manager.
    Such globally installed extensions are usually found via a registry scan or are installed in a location that Firefox scans for installed extensions.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/Installing_extensions
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/Adding_Extensions_using_the_Windows_Registry
    Extensions installed this way need to be removed via the settings (options/preferences) of the program that has added this extension or this program has to be uninstalled via "Control Panel > Programs".
    In Firefox you an only disable such an extension.
    Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
    All these programs have free versions.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
