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.

I keep getting this message "Address a problem with Mozilla Firefox plugin-container Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. For information about possible solutions to this problem

... go online to the Knowledge Base (KB) article:" The error message comes up under windows 'solve PC issues'. I go to this article but it doesnt say how to fix this problem. Also google maps doesnt work anymore on my firefox.

Thank you, your solution worked great.

Why hasn't Mozilla FIXED the problem in 5 months: Firefox Plugin Container Has Stopped Working. Hundreds of people posted but there is NO SOLUTION!

"Firefox Plugin Container Has Stopped Working."
Why hasn't Mozilla FIXED the problem in 5 months?
And Why is there not any answer to how to fix it that an Ordinary Person can do, without a MS degree in computer science?
I had this problem in Firefox 3.6.8 and then just downloaded version 3.6.12, the latest one, but it still happens constantly:
Hundreds of people posted in June 2010 and now the help section says: "This Question is Closed" message is at the bottom,
But there is NO SOLUTION!

This file seems to offer as many issues as problems it's supposed to solve.
Fix your problem in 20 seconds, 15 if you copy and paste the 2 strings below:
- Open a new tab in Firefox
- Type "about:config" in the Address Bar (without the quotes)
- Click "I'll be careful, I promise!"
- Type "dom.ipc" in the Filter field on top of the page
- 6 lines of parameters should appear, ignore the first and the last ones
- Double-click on the 4 lines in the middle to change their value to "False"
- Close the tab, close Firefox, restart Firefox

HI Starlet sky,
Its a pleasure to meet a fellow 3d gamer. Since the plugin that crashed was:
webplayer_win.dll_unloaded
You can clear the cache and see if this helps prevent future crashes, but that might not be the only cause.
Other things to consider:
* Your plugins and extensions are not update: Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700 - needs to be 14
* Update all your media extensions and plugins, this will help the performance. also look at hardware acceleration after updating your graphics card and extensions [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
Once this is done, please try to access the game a gain and report back! It could help other users, thank you!

Firefox Plugin container has stopped working (no matter what I try)

Windows 7 64 bit
Firefox 32.0
Dell Inspiron 5423 14z
I cannot get Firefox to stop crashing. I really don't want to switch to Chrome but it seems stable.
Things I've tried:
1. Uninstalling Firefox, erasing all App data. Downloading a fresh copy and installing it again.
2. Updating Adobe Flash.
3. Restarting Firefox with Add-ons disabled. (It still crashes)
Firefox still crashes.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Thanks!

Your System Details list shows an outdated Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700 version.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page:
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:
*bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
You can find the Report ID of recent crash reports on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page (about:support).
*Click the "All Crash Reports" button on this page to open the <b>about:crashes</b> page and see all crash reports.
If necessary then you can open <b>about:</b> pages via the location/address bar.

Just installed Windows 7 + Firefox 7 when trying to play 'Discover Windows 7' first Silverlight plugin msg then Plugin Container has stopped working came up..although Firefox will play videos on You Tube..any ideas?

I've tried checking Silverlight plugin in 'Add-ons' seems to be fine but will not work in Firefox

In order to find out about the problem I have restarted another fresh install but inside a VM this time so I can take notes and snapshots.
I found that the following official package will break my Gnome 3.6 pretty easily:
- pygtksourceview2 : this one instantly crashes Gnome and you are no longer able to log in.
- pycups and pysmbc : doesn't crash immediately but after 10s you get the oops.
Let's remove them from the real install to see if it fixes the problem.
[EDIT] Tried again to install the above three package inside a fresh Gnome install living into a VM and it didn't crash. See post above regarding my broken Gnome which was related to fingerprint-gui package from AUR.

Plugin container has stopped working

My firefox is not working - help. it doesn't even type ... sluggish and keeps crashing and a stop plugin notice keeps popping up hundreds of times. I need to work and am unsure how to proceed.

Thanks Philipp ... it was already set that way. I am now only today able to get back into Firefox after using Safe Mode (which I had to access from Internet Explorer) and then doing the 'REFRESH'. I'm not sure if this has fixed, and there is something strange about Firefox now ... missing my Toolbar and other things ... thanks again.

My computer diagnostic said my plugin container has quit working

certain sections of my emails would not open and my zinga toolbar disappeared i ran a copmuter diagnostic check and it said my mozilla firefox plugin container had stopped working how do i remedy this situation

See this - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages

Plug-in container has stopped working. No printing from web

Went to print a receipt from a web page and got firefox 'not responding'. Then error message after I click to close..."plug-in container has stopped working". I have reset ff, i have uninstalled and reinstalled. flash is up to date. I have EWPS plug in (I have an epson printer) and E web page plug in.
When I checked in my pc for the ewps, it doesn't open but says it needs plug in container and to re download e-web print. did that. No better.
Not an epson issue as other stuff prints.
Please help
thanks

I'm trying to figure out what plugin(s) the problem page is using.
Are there other pages on the site (same host name, e.g., www.example.com) that do not lock up Firefox? If so, please open one of those pages and then switch all the plugins to "Ask to Activate" for the site. Here's what I mean:
Click the padlock or globe in the address bar and then click "More Information". At the top of the Page Info dialog, click Permissions. Then, in the plugins section, click "Always Ask" for each one and close the dialog.
The next time you visit the problem page, Firefox should show a bar telling you which plugin needs to be activated. Actually, this might not kick in until after you exit and start Firefox up again.

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

ITunes has stopped working properly.

iTunes has stopped working properly.

Ok.
3 days ago, for no apparent reason my itunes stopped working.
This only happens after it has "synced" with the itunes store and prepares to upload remaining songs.
NOTHING has changed since then other than downloading latest itunes (11.1...whatever) which i was recommended to do after it stopped working.
I am using windows 7
Latest itunes version (for windows)
I have thousand of songs in icloud, which were uploading fine until 3 days ago.
Windows message reads something like: Itunes has stopped working properly, windows will now close the programme blah blah balh.
Bit annoyed. Tried copying the dll file from QT that somebody mentioned earlier. Also tried "repairing" programme and re-downloading update.
Not working still!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!

Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

I understand. I was very unhappy with Adobe when my PSE 11 stoped working properly. I had it for only about 6-7months before I updated my software on my imac and it all went downhill.... Then to add to that my Adobe account was hacked. Adobe never informed me of this situation. I heard through a friend that I should check to see if I was one of the very many who's online accounts were tampered with. I had to reset every single password and username for nearly 30 online accounts to avoid any further tampering with the hackers. And all Adobe suggested was for me to pay for an upgrade to PSE 12 which I did but wasnt very impressed to say the least ( i was on an online chat with them for over 2hours trying to get my PSE 11 issues solved to no avail). Then this sluggish performance starts happening again using the new version PSE 12?. I'm going to stay clear of adobe if I have the option to purchase similiar software from another supplier. I would and will encourage anyone else who has problems with there software to do the same. Older versions should work perfectly fine for ages. I wonder If Adobe is trying to get us all to pay for the monthly subscription option(s) to avoid having issues with older versions of their software. As the subscription option keeps you ontop of all the latest versions... I wouldn't put it past them.
All the best returned,
Ray

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. Any ideas?

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?

Try reindexing spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.
sudo mdutil -E /
sudo temporarily elevates your privileges and will ask for your password. When you type it in, there won't be any response in the Terminal. Just type it and hit return.
