Plugin container for flash keeps crashing

I am constantly getting plugin container errors. Firefox locks up, then my whole computer eventually freezes up. It is the shockwave plugin that keeps crashing and sticking in my task manager. I have the latest updates. It mostly happens on Youtube and Farmville 2. This is extremely frustrating. Is there some setting I can check or features I can turn off to stop this from happening. I am realistic - things crash. The problem is it is happening ALL the time.

I had a problem with youtube videos crashing and finally sorted it out by disabling the plugin container. Type about:config in the address bar and search for dom.ipc Set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to 'false' I did not need to disable protected mode or hardware acceleration

    Over the last few day the interent has been crashing with the following response - "plugin container for firefox has stopped working." Why and how can I fix this issue?

    Same problem here. Firefox keeps freezing, sometimes for 5 minutes, then either starts working again really slowly or I get the plug-in error crash. This last time I copied what windows said about the error. This is the info:

    Don't know what it means or if it will help solve the issue, but thought I would share it.
    All I know is that I am about to do something I never thought I would, switch to Chrome.

  • Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working ~ DivX Web Player plugin crashed

    Hi Everyone,
    Probably I should begin by saying anything computer-related is like walking blindfold in a pitch dark room. Seriously "tech-impaired" here (i'd go to someone who knows but tight budgets are a pain too... so if anyone here could help fix this I'd be forever thankful.
    The first part of the title line is what appears to me in a little message window. YouTube and Hulu work OK, but there's this site "Icefilms (dot) info" -the one that I mostly use- that's the one with the problem.
    It was all working just fine until last Monday night (June 20/2011) and it's not just with Firefox that I have this problem, cause when i tried to use Google Chrome it was the same thing, which makes me think it's not an Internet browser problem, I tried changing Firefox (5) to an older version, but instead of just the video widow, the whole thing crashes.

  • Firefox crashes with error message: "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working"

    When I open Firefox it seems to be working fine for one minute, then everything freezes and I receive the following error message:
    "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working
    --> Check online for a solution and close the program
    --> Close the Program"
    Neither option restores Firefox and I'm left with a frozen (white blurry Not Responding) screen. When I click on the X button, then I get the regular "Firefox is not responding" message and the whole program just shuts down.
    Should I disable all plugins and / or this plugin container? How can I do that, if Firefox keeps crashing?
    Basically, how can I fix this? Thanks a lot!

    I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
    It appears this forum is dead?!
    Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem...

    I'm having problems with FlashPlayerPlugin and plugin-container. They keep starting up and bogging down the system. This has been a recent occurrance. I've made sure that I have the latest version. I notice the problem when I am opening some applicatio, and it freezes. If I go to Task Manager, I can see the two Adobe apps sucking up CPU cycles. If I end the processes, then the other apps continue. Today, I uninstalled FlashPlayerPluginqand plugin-container. All day since I have had no freezing of an app. What should I do to correct the problem?

    Here's an explanation of what those processes are.

    I'm curious about what you did to uninstall just those.

  • How do I suppress "plugin container for firefox has stopped working" ?

    I am doing some Flash programming and using Firefox to debug. Every time I end the debug session from Flash Builder I get the error "Plugin container for firefox has stopped working". Is there a way to suppress this false error message? There is not a problem with the container or any plugins, simply that Firefox thinks the container has crashed because it is being closed by the IDE. I have already had to change several options to suppress false error alerts, but just seem to get new ones like this.

    Firefox uses the plugin-container process to run plugin out of the current Firefox process (Out-Of-Process-Plugins) and you may not see the plugin mentioned. Flash uses protected mode by default and that causes two plugin-container processes to be active.

    You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
    *check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • HELP: Adobe Flash keeps crashing

    Could somone please help me.  I cannot play most of my games on Facebook because the "most wonderful" Adobe Flash keeps crashing on me.  I spend more time sending crash reports than I do playing the darn games.  Please keep in mind that I am not computer literate at all. I have checked and my Flash is up-to-date. I am using Windows 7...Thank you for anyone who can help....Desiree' (battgurl)Using Flash Player

    First, I would make absolutely sure that you're up-to-date using Mozilla's [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check]. If that doesn't help, you should try asking for support at Adobe, because unfortunately this is probably an issue with Flash and not Firefox.

  • Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox?

    Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox? Ever since I updated, my firefox browser has been crashing almost every day and it always says that the plugin container crashed, but the rest of firefox freezes up as well, so I am forced to end the process itself.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default in Firefox 3.6.6)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
