Plugin container.exe causes severe slowness while trying to switch from sub to dub on Netflix.

When I go to netflix it works just fine. However if I try to switch from sub to dub it while just lock up. I have done while running task manager and the source of the slow down is plugincontainer.exe. It was working fine a couple weeks ago.

There are some alternative solutions to using the plugin-container.exe. You can disable it and then try and see how it works.

  • Numerous instances of "plugin-container.exe" causes crash.

    Viewing pages that use plugins such as Flash or the Adobe Reader plugin open new instances of "plugin-container.exe" in the processes. The problem is that each of these instances continues to run after the page using the plugin has been closed or navigated away from causing large drain on system memory. They can be shut down manually from Task Manager but this shouldn't happen in the first place. I have since downgraded from Beta 12 to Beta 11 where this does not happen.

  • Plugin-container.exe causes windows crash that causes Firefox to crash

    Any help that can be given with this problem would be appreciated.
    I'm running an older machine (Windows XP SP2). I was having a problem with Firefox 9.0 redirecting my search results to other sites. Scans with Norton and Malwarebytes showed no malware on the system. I upgraded afew months ago to Firefox 12.0 hoping that would fix the problem - thinking it was Malware and not bothering to check the support website here. That didn't fix the problem. So over the weekend I uninstalled Firefox 12.0 completely from the system - including my profile information. I did a clean install of Firefox 17.0. I think the redirect problem is fixed, but now I have a new problem - nearly every website I go to I get a windows error "Runtime Error. Virtual C++ Runtime library plugin-container.exe R6030 - CRT not initialized." This locks up Firefox and causes it to become unresponsive (so I can't get a Firefox crash report).

    First try to update XP to Service Pack 3 and all other most recent updates. Then try again.

  • Plugin-container.exe makes browsing slow: how 2 solve?

    I have reverted to 3.5 because the latest versions of FF include some nonsense called plugin-container. FF was brilliant prior to the plugin-container but now it is noticeably slower.
    Are there any early versions of 3.6 without the plugin-container available for download.
    Can someone fix the plugin-container nonsense. FF was perfect prior to the plugin-container
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    I noticed this, too... the problem seems to occur for me when I have tabs open that use flash for video, most notably YouTube. I have to kill fx and re-open to get it to drop. Very annoying. I don't know why there was a need to include something like this, but it doesn't seem well tested.
    The command line that launches this process (as a child process of fx), for reference:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe" --channel=4452.1336c6a0.231575676 "C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll" 4452 plugin \\.\pipe\gecko-crash-server-pipe.4452
    Yes, in that screenshot, plugin-container.exe has used more than 18 hours of cpu time (compared with 18 seconds used by my antivirus). Yes, plugin-container.exe is using as much again and more memory than firefox itself. Granted, I have a lot of tabs open, and firefox has been open for days, but those numbers seem ridiculous to me.

  • Does version 3.6 still have the plugin-container.exe?

    Plugin-container.exe causes me massive problems with hangs, crashes, cpu usage in the 90-100% range and it seems to force the cooling fan to run at maximum constantly. It makes the computer useless as anything other than an extremely noisy paperweight and trying to solve the problem has not worked. Therefore i want to downgrade to a version which does not have this awful thing.
    Does the oldest supported version (3.6.0 from what i can see) have plugin container.exe?

  • Plugin-container.exe loading in Gmail, what if I shut it down?

    Whenever I open my Gmail (Google mail), plugin-container.exe loads into memory. What happens if I shut down plugin-container.exe via task manager while the Gmail tab is still open? Will that crash my browser? (what happens to the Gmail tab in that case?) would that be safe?
    Thanks

  • How to solve hanging problem caused by the plugin-container.exe (instruction 0x0276609c)?

    To whom it may concern,
    I am not sure about the cause, however I have experienced hanging of the programme repeatedly. I have not been able to solve it otherwise than by ending the process via task manager (I am using Firefox 4.0.1 running on Win XP SP2). After doing so, a message appeared saying this:
    "sw: plugin-container.exe application error
    Instruction at the address 0x0276609c referred to the memory address 0x00000014. Impossible to execute memory operation: read. End the programme by clicking on the OK button."
    I am sorry if my translation is not correct enough. I have tried to google the instruction number, but to no avail. Thus I have decided to ask you for help.
    Thank you for your comprehension

  • Firefox gets slow after awhile and also hangs and sometimes i get plugin-container.exe error

    Hello, it's a while that Firefox gets slow and also hangs and sometimes i get plugin-container.exe error...
    I'm not sure but maybe it often happens after monitor goes to Screen Saver or after it turns off...
    Error signature
    AppName: plugin-container.exe AppVer:1.2.9.3951
    ModVer: 5.1.2600.5512 Offset:0000100b

    You can run Java in Firefox.exe instead of plugin-container.exe, but I'm not sure that actually would be better than where you are now.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''java''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If '''dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled''' is true (bolded), right-click it and choose Reset (or double-click it to toggle).
    If that value already is false, you might be having a problem with another common plugin such as Flash.

  • I looked on my C:\ for plugin-container.exe and deleted the file as it kept slowing down my computor, however now when I load firefox it crashes, how can I re-install this plugin to disable it properly?

    My computor had been overly slow which was not normal when looking at processes running in task manager I found plugin-container.exe to be using alot of memory. I looked online and found that this was an update of firefox which was not essential, I then looked on my C:\ drive for the application and deleted it hoping this would solve the problem as I could not find it when looking at my firefox plugins. However now when I open firefox it quickly crashes, how can I reinstall this? Do I need to reinstall firefox completely or is there a more simple solution? I have done the firefox plugin check and it can find no problems.

    Probably the easiest way is to download Firefox again from http://www.mozilla.com and re-install it.
    If you want to disable plugin-container, see the section on "Disabling crash protection" at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins

  • I can not resolve a plugin-container.exe error while processing payroll through ADP &have been unable to find the right fix for this. I can send error report.

    I have been receiving this error now for a few weeks and have been through multiple layers of IT help trying to resolve it with ADP/Chase Payroll services. When I go to print pay vouchers I get the plugin-container.exe error and I can not print the vouchers. I can provide screen shots if this would help. Can you please advise on how to proceed to resolve this?

    This is an issue with that plugin crashing, which isn't something we can really resolve for you. Try to disable it, find a replacement, update it, or contact their support

  • Plugin-container.exe is using 90-100% CPU - even while running Firefox in safe-mode. Can I fix this?

    I am using fire fox 5.0 (after using 3.6 for what seems like forever) and the plugin-container.exe has been sucking up my CPU power like a vampire. It had been doing that in 3.6 but not as much. I figured if I upgraded the problem would go away, but no, it has not. After reading some other similar posts, I ran Firefox in safe mode with no plugins running and sure enough after browsing for a bit it started running slower and used 90-100% of my CPU. Is there any way to fix this issue? Or am I doomed? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

    That's supposed to show you the problem isn't Firefox, don't know how successful that actually is. You can delete it so that it starts up again. Susggest restarting Firefox when you see it has used about an hour of CPU time as the next hour of CPU time will take shorter to get there and you will be locked out.

  • Plugin-container.exe is causing problems, are there any fixes?

    Firefox frequently stops or runs very slowly and it appears to be related to "plugin-container.exe". This was not happening with earlier versions of Firefox and it is really causing frustration with this version.
    If I stop "plugin-container.exe" normal service appears to be resumed, but the program soon starts up again.
    Are there any fixes for this problem or will I have to revert to Internet Explorer?

    That's supposed to indicate it's your plug-ins like Flash that is the problem.
    You might try changing hardware acceleration, a setting within Flash either turn if off or on.

  • Ebay causes plugin-container.exe to use high cpu

    I am using firefox 6.0.1 with Windows XP SP3 and have noticed that opening my ebay summary page causes plugin-container.exe to use between 60 and 80% of available CPU time. I haven't noticed this problem on other pages nor did I notice it before the recent firefox upgrade.
    Not sure if this a firefox or ebay issue.

  • 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.

    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.
