Plugin-container.exe keeps coming back and slowing my machine (ver.3.6.12)

This problem occurred in earlier editions and I would have thought that it should have been solved by now.
My computer goes to 100% usage and stay there until I go into my Windows Task Manager and stop the process: plugin-container.exe . I understand this was put in to stop crashes by Flash Player??? Well , it seems that they have decided to throw the baby out with the wash water. I stop the process but it keeps coming back.
Is there some similar program like Flashplayer that works and that we can use?
What happens if we can really get rid of it permanently?
How can we really get rid of it permanently?
If you send me instructions make sure that my ten-year old can understand it.
Thanks, in advance.

ok I've just had to fix this myself so can confirm it works :)
open a new tab in mozilla and enter '''about:config''' in the address bar and hit enter.
It will say ''''here be dragons'''' click ''''I'll be careful I promise''''.
In the filter field enter '''dom.ipc'''
You will see a list of preference names, click on the value to toggle (change settings)
These are the settings you want.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled ''' true'''
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll '''false'''
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll '''false'''
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll '''false'''
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nptest.dll '''true'''
dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs 45
Restart firefox and then check Task Manager... plugin-container has disappeared, Mozilla is fast again, your RAM is no longer being hogged... happy days :)
Enjoy

I am trying to set up iCloud and it keeps coming back and saying "This apple ID's email address cannot be Verified. It is my main iTunes address and password. What is wrong?

Hi,
I am trying to set up iCloud on my various devices. When I log in with my iTunes (Apple id) it keeps coming back and stating
"Verify your account. This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified. Change your apple ids email address at appleid.apple.com to sig into i cloud"
My apple id has been alive and in use for years on iTunes etc. I have tried a different address and password and still get the same result
Help???
Regards
Brian

If your email address is valid, just go to https://appleid.apple.com/, click "Manage your account" to the right,sign in, click Name, ID, and Email Addresses to the left, then click "Verify now" next to your email address. Apple will send you an email to this address with a verification link. Otherwise add an alternate email address that can be verified.

Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
You can check your USB drivers this way:
Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
Click on the Driver tab
Click on the Driver Details button
You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
Hope this helps someone.

Why does plugin-container.exe start 15 times (and then stop) during shutdown (taking MINUTES to shut down)?

FF takes forever to close (minutes). When using process explorer I see that as many as 15 instances of plugin-container.exe will be opened during the shut down process. I think this means that a plugin is crashing. I disabled all of the plugins and it still happened (but maybe not so many times). An obvious answer is to leave FF open but that seems kinda dumb. I haven't seemed to be able to find this addressed anywhere. I am using updated Xp, on a many year old machine. Please help.
Thanks, John Rooks
(also, my submit button doesn't work when I try to send this in via the feedback form. (happy, sad and idea page)

It is caused by Firefox asking plugins like Flash to remove their cookies and other locally stored data.

Plugin-container.exe ate my CPU and my goldfish

After installing Firefox 3.6.4 and version 3.6.6 respectively, there was a process running in the background, called plugin-container.exe. It immediately began to eat my CPU, my RAM and my goldfish. I have a fish tank in my room and after installing the FF update, my goldfish disappeared. Can I get a new goldfish from Mozilla?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== after installing v3.6.4 and higher

Same problem...XP SP3, X64. Followed the suggestions outlined in this thread:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/704242
which, basically, was to restart in safe mode to see if an extension is causing the problem. Well, I restarted in safe mode, tried to watch a youtube video, and it still runs like trash (to say it nicely). So its definitely not an extension causing the problem, its this trashy container.
Flash Player is already a container. Meaning its already an intermediate layer between the user and the OS. Which is one of the things Steve Jobs talked about as for why Flash is not on iPhone. The more layers you introduce, the less efficiently something can run.
So basically Mozilla took an existing container (Flash player) and wrapped it in ANOTHER container, further removing it from the OS. Whose brilliant idea was that??? Its like watching TV as filmed through someone's web cam.
Total garbage. With each release of FF, video playback gets worse and worse...

FF 6.0 does not terminates itself, "plugin-container.exe" keeps running which does not allow termination of process

After up-graduation to FF 6.0, FF fails to terminate when closed via X button or through Exit options in Menu. It was found that ''plugin-container.exe'' does not terminate causing failure to terminate ''firefox.exe''. ''plugin-container.exe'' runs as a sub-process to ''firefox.exe''

When I close Firefox 4.0 RC2, I have four or more instances of "plugin-container.exe" spawn before Firefox (and all of the spawned processes) close. Is this normal/intended behavior?

These processes seem to be independent of the normal plugin-container process spawned for Flash.

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

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

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.

After installing Flash player I still get the message "this website wants to run the following add in: Adobe Flash Player from Adobe Systems Inc". I click allow but the message keeps coming back and I can´t get rid off it. What to do?

Running Windows 7 Home edition, 64.

Alright guy's It always happens. Over 90% of the time it's just a matter of time before i fix my own problems. I solved my problem and now it works perfectly fine.
I'm gonna say how i fixed it so who ever finds this page on google can see how i did it. I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player using the uninstaller from adobe http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe after i did that i went to my system32 folder and delete my adobe folder which still had files left over in it (Deleted the whole macromed folder) C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Note, You need to exit any browser you have up (IE,Firefox,ect) or else you will not be able to delete it and it'll say access denied. After deleting that i installed Adobe Flash Player with a .exe i downloaded from Adobe and it worked perfect! No more annoying message
Side note, I'm use XP so the marcomed folder might possible be somewhere else if you are useing Vista or Windows 7.

HT201209 I have a gift card and the system keeps coming back and saying it is invalid

I have a gift card and when I enter the code (numberous times) it says invalid?

If you mean can't access the email account to which your iTunes account reset email is sent to (you are using http://iforgot.apple.com to try to reset it ?) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the password reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

I have tried for two months to make a movie using video and stills. It is fine in the timeline but then when I burn a disc the stills stick and just keep coming back and covering everything else. I turned the jpegs into Tiffs, then compressed with LZW

I am a beginner but I have made good movies on other programs in the past. I must be doing one basic thing wrong.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Plugin-container.exe. I realise this has been raised before but there never seems to have been any firm reply from Firefox as to how to rectify the problem, as I have just had 94% use of my CPU by this and my use is so slow it is impossible. Emjayel

plugin-container.exe is a disaster and looking at previous forums it has been so for at least a year without any resolution. As I said before at one stage this was using 94% of my CPU and my system was reduced to a snails pace.
Surely Firefox should give some useful alternative.
Emjayel

Try going to http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck and see if your plugins are out of date.

How do I remove plugin-container.exe safely and be sure it doesn't return?

plugin-container.exe keeps running in my Windows task manager slowing or sometimes freezing my computer. How do I eliminate this problem? I am running Firefox 4.0.1., which I will have to stay with for now as the update will not accept my Logitech product.

Thank you for the detailed information. I'm confused, however, as to which is the best way to go: leave the plugin-container.exe to keep me from crashing even though it slows ... sometimes freezes ... my computer (especially since I use Adobe Flash; or, disable/remove it and continue with Firefox crashes as I did before the plugin-container.exe was added to Firefox. Such a mind-boggling problem for one who is close to being computer illiterate.

Plugin-container.exe *32 still shows up

Hi everyone,
I had a question about FlashPlayerPlugin_11_4_402_287.exe *32 and why it is two times in the task manager, but I read some others problems like this and get the answer, thanks.
I disabled the plugin-container.exe in about:config and changed the value to "false" but it still appears in TM.
Can I disable it or not?
My OS is W7 (64 bits) and I use Firefox
Thanks for your time.

Hello Muller, sorry I am not Everyone, however I do have the same issue as if Firefox is not slow enough as it is, and to add to the frustration Flash Player crashes frequently over and over, no matter how many times I Report the Crash and Reload the Page, still does not work, then I have to Exit Firefox and re-launch, click to restore History right in the middle of my work. Very disruptive.
And before Adobe asks, yes to updating Firefox, and constanly checking for updates of Windows 7, 64-bit, my Anti-Virus and other Security features. The current Adobe Flash Player version as the file name shows 11.4.402.287 as of 8 & 9 Oct 2012.
Of course the answer maybe in the file name after .EXE of *32 for 32 bit running on a 64 bit system. I do not have this problem with using Google Chrome v 22.0.1229.94 and possibly may work better for yourself as well.
And I do not use I.E. v 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit Edition, never have liked I.E., slower than Firefox. And to think after 30 yrs of using computers something would work properly 98% of the time.
