Plug-in container keeps starting and making my pc drag almost to a stop have tried to update everything would like to turn it off
Several sites have videos that start up whenever you visit whether you want to see them or not ...most are ads. Whenever I go to any site that does this my computer gets to a point that my mouse jumps all over the place and it slows to a point of not being able to use it, I have to go to task manager to stop it ....then it starts right back up when I change the page. It is always the plug -in container and if left to run the memory just goes higher and higher. I would like to just turn it off at this point, it makes my pc pretty much useless. It has something to do with the adobe flash player and I have updated it more than once but still no luck. The guesses look about right about os etc.
First off, seeing that you are running WinXP you would be better off using the older Flash 10.3.183.90 version - aka Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183. The Flash 11.0 and later versions of Flash have a "sandbox" that isn't compatible with WinXP and it doesn't provide any better security than 10.3 r183 has. Adobe kept updating the older 10.3 version specifically for WinXP users until a few months before Microsoft ended support for WinXP, so it isn't even a year old yet.
The other thing to do is to set Adobe Flash to '''Ask to Activate''' in the Addons Manager > Plugins tab, so that Flash won't run until you allow it to run.

I am running Facebook and leaving it on..when I come back to it or sometimes when i am using it i get this Unresponsive Script Error - Script: chrome://greasemonkey/content/prefmanager.js:55. If i click continue or stop it will go away but many times the page is frozen so i have to restart Firefox. I am not using Chrome so i am surprised about that part of the error. I have read the other posting and have tried to change the time under config......can't remember the rest and it has not worked. Please advise what else i can do.
In Firefox the use of the term chrome refers to the user interface and other elements that are not part of the web pages.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Chrome
Your problems seems to be caused by the GreaseMonkey extension.<br />

FFox 3.6.8. Repeated problem. I close it, then hours later try to relaunch it, and it says it's still running. So I have to End Process in Task Mgr. Also, plug-container keeps running and takes LOTS of memory. Ergo, 3.6.8 is a step backward. I wish I hadn't upgraded. What can be done?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.8. Not before.See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs and [[Firefox hangs]] (Hang at exit)

You tube and other videos take forever or keep starting and stoping
youtube and other online videos take forever to open or keep starting and stopping
First thing to check is your actual download speed. Services, especially cable internet providers, say their top speed is "up to" some value. Cable internet is a shared resource so, should someone on your node be hosting online games or hosting a file sharing site from their computer, they are robbing you of bandwidth.
Try this speed tester:
http://speedtest.net/
and compare the results to what your ISP says you can get at max. Also try the test at different times of the day.
If the test shows you are consistently getting only a fraction of what the top-rated speed should be, contact your provider. They can see if there is a problem in your area. Old cable, oxidized connectors, and neighbors hogging the resource are things they can address. -
The "Enter" key keeps starting and stopping itunes songs...
Hey, everytime I hit the enter key for example in Safari to enter a webpage, my itunes songs keep starting and stopping like I have the itunes window active... Does anyone know a solution for this? I tryed reinstalling and no luck...
ThanksWhat are the system specs for your pc? It seems it's to slow to play iphone's 720p HD videos. QT 7.7.3 is the latest for windows but VLC Player will play these videos too.

Just rented a movie on apple tv and it keeps starting and stopping every few minutes. have restarted in settings. have unplugged and replugged apple tv. any other suggestions?
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps. -
I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all. Simply get the Apple logo and the clock below and then after about 10 mins the laptop switched itself off. The Snow Leopard disk is a brand new family edition. Error message when attempting to install was that "this software cannot be installed on this disk".
Thanks Fred, but I've tried '''ALL''' that already.
I '''THINK''' I might have found the problem - the Profiles folder has been locked by inherited properties from the levels above. I have had to go all the way up to my User folder and reset ALL the properties from there down to be unlocked so that I could remove the prefs.js file so that it could be recreated on the next launch of FF. Exactly why my User folder is locked in such a way as to stop me/FF making changes when I have been able to alter preferences at will in the past, I don't know ...
So far, so good. I have since done a complete shutdown and when I restarted this morning, FF seems to be behaving itself ...

When exporting a video slideshow to my desktop it will start and then just end with no progress so I have to close it out. I get no warnings or any explanations. Any ideas? I am running Windows 7. No problem viewing it in LR. Thanks
Found out LR wasn't stopping but slowed way down. For 19 pictures, no video and no sound it took over 6 Hrs to export. Does anyone have any ideas to help this? Thank You.
