Plugin container is broken

I was using the nightly with that e10s on and then my i started getting this :
Plugin container for firefox has crashed. with the multi process enabled, and having a toaster of a pc nightly became almost unusable. so i reverted back to normal mozilla and the thing happend again even tho i have all plugins disabled. so here is problem signature :

it happens very often when i want to close a tab that i opened by miss clicking, and when i press on x it wont close so i get that crash.

Well thank you for your answer. As much as i love nightly builds its just way to slow on my pc to be usable and the plugin container is crashin all the time. Maybe ill wait some time till things get sorted a bit to test the e10s again.

Firefox plugin container high cpu usage and crashing

All three of my family's computers have been experiencing problems with the firefox plugin container. The container spikes the CPU for long, long, periods of time slowing overall performance noticably.
The only way to address the problem is to kill the Firefox plugin container.
When I kill the plugin container it kills Adobe Flash. This also occurs with Google Chrome and IE (problem and fix).
This leads me to beleive Flash is the problem.
I've tried clearing the flash cache from the Adobe troubleshooting site, deleting all cache applications, and changing settings.
Nothing seems to work.
IS ADOBE FLASH BROKEN? If not how can I troubleshoot this problem? My family plays Farmville which is always hanging and can only be fixed by restarting the computer. Okay, maybe farmville is a bad app.
However, I had the same problem when I went to Adobe.Com to try ans find a solution to this problem. The flash application spikde the CPU and the fix was to kill flash.
I'm not without skills - I could use some direction on how to troubleshoot flash?
Suggestions?
Regards,
Dale

Thanks.
Since I know absolutley nothing about flash that was very helpful.

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

Firefox 29 con un terrible uso de CPU al reproducir un video (plugin-container)

Para probar lo mal que este navegador se despempeña al reproducir un video: usar una computadora con Intel Celeron D, 2 Gigabytes de RAM y una nivida GeForce 7200 GS/7300 SE, si no se cuenta con una computadora similar... entonces probar la ineficiencia TOTAL de este navegador seria imposible.
En fin, ya que se tenga un precesaor de un solo nucleo y pocos gigabytes de RAM, se comienza la prueba.
para probar hay que entrar a este sitio desde firefox: http://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2014/05/12/nasa-la-contraccion-de-glaciares-en-la-antartida-es-irreversible/
bueno, en fin el problema que tengo es que Firefox usa DEMASIADO CPU, para reproducir un solo video de flash... mientras resproduzco un video ese proceso desagradable y maldito llamado "plugin container" usa el 100 % de la CPU y he tenido temperaturas barbaras tanto en Windows 7 32 bit como Ubuntu 64 bits que llegan a los 71 grados celsius, todo por ese MALDITO e INEFICIENTE proceso que se llama plugin-container y como no! el INEFICIENTE api que ellos llaman NPAPI...
Si ustedes, Mozilla reciben dinero... en lugar de usarlo en cosas inutiles como Australis, deberian usarlo para mejorar la eficiencia de ese maldito plugin-container.
¿En que momento decidieron que su navegador tenga que funcionar solo en computadores con 12 nucleos?
En fin he tratado inutilmente lo que aqui se sugiere, desactivar la aceleracion por hardware tando de firefox como de flash... e incluso empeora, teniendo desactivado la aceleracion por hardware, hay videos que simplemente no puedo ver, el video es entrecortado y los controles del reproductor embebido son irresponsivos.
En fin... mi computadora puede parecer muy pobre para ustedes señores de Mozilla, pero a me srive todavia y creo que puede durar mucho mas, al menos hay otros programas con lo cuales no tengo este problema y me son utiles... y la verdad no necesito gastar dinero para comprar una computadora con la caracteristica que he descrito anteriormente, pero ¿en verdad necesito tirar mi dinero a la basura para poder ver videos decentemente?

Hola,
Gracias por su pregunta. A este momento si la plugin napi estaba usando mas de 100% de la CPU, por favor desactivar la plugin.
Por favor actualice sus controladores y WebGL también. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Plugin-container issue. Works in v 3.6 but not in 12.0

So im having a issue here.
I love the 3.6.28 Firefox version as its simple and fastest for my Slow PC.
I though installed the new 12.0 version as FF decided not to support 3.6 anymore and was hugely disappointed with how slow it is.
Anyway my issue:
Ive disabled plugin container in 3.6 due to eating up my RAM.
Settings: http://kb.mozillazine.org/images/Fx366-OOPP.PNG
Installed FF 12.0 and i now suddenly i see 2x plugin container running at the same time. When i disable it again the same way i did in v 3.6 I cant play my favourite game anymore as its all grey when the game launches. Its called Quakelive.com and is runned through the web. So i went back to v 3.6.
Can i work around this somehow? I dont like having the plugin container eating my RAM. And the point it actually did work in the earlier version 3.6 it should work now?
What i want is do disable plugin container and still be able to run flash, java etc just like the way i have in v 3.6.
I hope someone has an idea. Thanks!

I forgot to ask you. What is your Java version? It is possible a old version of Java on your system is being blocked by Firefox because of some security risk.
So if you could could go to:
'''Tools > Add-ons > Plugins'''
And tell me what version of Java you have there. If you have more than one, tell me all of them. Thanks
Don't update your Java before letting me know what version you have first. That way I know for sure what Java version was causing your problem.
To update Java:
 http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
'''Edit:'''
 It looks like you have Java 6 update 32, which isn't old. But they also released Java SE 7 Update 4 at the same time. Supposedly Java 7 has more features/improvements. I wonder if the Quake Live people updated their Java to Java 7. Hopefully installing Java 7 works and doesn't cause a new problem.

Installd Ffox 3.6.15. Redo Flash AGAIN? How can I: Tweak 2 fix plugin-container crashes/hangs10X/day,and 2) Avoid need to reinstall Java, Flash,& other media plugins(Flash, Realplayr/Quiktime Alternative, Media Player Classic)? Ffox fan

plugin-container crashes and hangs many times daily all my time eaten up by upgrading too frequently to new Ffox versions, only to find that I must then spend a whole day jumping thru hoops upgrading almost all of my add-ons too.
I now find, to my horror, that the hideous virus-magnet IE 8 is needed if I want to surf at a reasonable speed and not spend all day dealing with Ffox new versions' Known Issues. Only good thing I have seen about ver. 3.6.15 is slightly better launch-times. Since 3.6 cane out, I must spend 10 minutes just waiting for Firefox to load and give me a browser screen. Help! I love you guys, but your core browser developers need to have better comms with the Javaa/flash/Adobe and other must-have add-on people! And PLEASE fix all these "plugin-container" crashes and hangs I get, that lock my machine for 10-15 min at a time. Not everybody has 16 gigs of RAM, you know! I think the "plugin-container" running as a separate process idea might need to be COMPLETELY re-engineered! YOU CAN DO IT! LET'S GET BACK TO LEAN AND MEAN, and not bloat ourselves off our hard-won User Preference / great security pedestal with the kind of feature-creep that IS DEMOLISHING IE's slave-userbase with the hard-won advanced-user preference for Firefox
and our core values. FAST-LEAN-SECURE.
Where have they gone? I LOVE Firefox
and all it stands for! Let's not trip
over our own features here. Already I
see SeaMonkey and leaner, faster
browsers hot on our heels, THIN and
FAST! Firefox doesn't need to integrate
with EVERY thru-the-browser media tool
on the planet! I've been writing code
since 1968, and I can't imagine how a
lesser-experienced user (that code
should be written for) could possibly
have navigated all the side-upgrades
and Known Issues to make Firefox run as
sweetly as it used to! He'd just give
up when he finds he has to separately
find and install the EXACT 3rd-party
version that Firefox needs for its
newest release: things like a new Java
runtime environment, and hunt down and
correctly install ALL the Flaming-Phox-
compatible buggy plugins from half the
browser-media warezmakers on the
PLANET! He'd give up halfway thru trying to navigate to, D/L, and install
what he needs from Oracle Java, Adobe,
Flash, media players and their codecs,
etc etc.... WRITE FOR THE NOOBS! As it
is, I have invested 2 full workdays in
just keeping your last 2 quick releases
happy. And having another release spaced only 3-4 days apart from the
last- well, that just doesn't fly.
Better to release a hotfix or patch that a user can set FFox to automatically D/L and self-install on
schedule. Just look! Now you've got me
talking like that lawbreaking swine
Gates! We want to keep on absorbing
the average-user center and take it ALL
away from him, not go on feature,
plugin, and upgrade-bloating the best
browser EVER!
You're facing choices that can kill
us! PLEASE DONT BLOAT! AND PLEASE ONLY
RELEASE A NEW VER WHEN YOU CAN REALLY
GET RID OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND MAKE
HER FASTER AND LEANER AND BETTER UNDER
THE HOOD! Already the Noobs are getting
mindlessly scared when you talk about
"fixing a Security problem"- really a
minor issue that SHOULD be taken care
of by their antimalware solution- in
the Release Notes splash screen they
get on install of a new ver! Thanks, my
friends, for all your work, and YES I
WILL sit here all day trying to find
the add-ons that need to be selected,
downloaded, and upgraded from 10
different 3rd-party sites who are
fighting our browser, not dancing with
it! DON'T EVEN LOOK Evil! But I have
to confess that at this point, Gates-hate is all that keeps me on
these all-day new-release tasks. Even
my best techs are starting to advise me
to install SeaMonkey or another of the
newer, thinner browsers... or just stop
upgrading Firefox and roll it back to
when it was sharp, fast, and lean! Look
at all the users wanting to go back to
3.6.13 or earlier and looking for archives of old versions. THANKS AND
GOOD LUCK! I'LL DIE BEFORE I GIVE UP ON
MY BELOVED FIREFOX!
-The CRASHMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAW

Thanks! I've already used the built-in plugin checker but it gives very vague answers like (research this" and update this" all of which I did, starting with Java and Flash, Adobe Reader, Shockwave, 100% reinstall of Java newest ver. TWICE- but FFox keeps reporting that I only have the FORMER version installed, although when I go to Java console or Check the Flash executable at the MFR's site, there is NO doubt that the updates were successful!
But the browser just seems to refuse to acknowledge the update!
And I don't HAVE 6 hrs/day at the 'puter just to play with add-ons
and plugups. So I'm going down the line now, ripping out extension
programs and replacing/reinstalling/updating the plugins one by
one- even went to M$ to get advice on THEIR For-Firefox ActiveX
stuff. No dice so far. And yeah, The plugin-container WAS made so
that a plugin, add-on or I guess extension app failure wouldn't take
the whole FF browser down with it if the 3rd-party ware crashed. It's supposed to shake it off and go on, kinda like how XP sometimes
restarts Explorer (not the IE browser) so I don't have to reboot the
whole sys.
That was the foundation of my remark about stepping back and
re-engineering the whole "Plugin-container" idea, because it seems
to do more harm than good. Maybe that's why the Firefox core
engine won't recognize my upgrades- for example I TWICE installed the Flash update to 10.2.xx (latest ) and the Flash Mfr's
site verifies my upgrade as a successful 10.2, but Firefox plugins
check say I have a 10.1, the old one. What gives here? The sneaky
PLUGIN CONTAINER, METHINKS!
Now I'm disabling things on the Extensions Apps list, thinking
that might help, like disabling my video downloader and other
download helpers/managers... and I notice that there is a LOT of
Java stuff in there too as well as in the blue Lego Plugins List... and
in the past the FFox always told me if a new version of Ffox was
incompatible with any older 3rd-party app Extensions and notified
me QUICKLY if something I had in there was Outdated. I'm big on
using the neat-o "find updates" button at the bottom if that happens, and usually get a newer version right away. The prob
really lies in the Blue Lego Plugins and their new Container, I
believe.
So Ill still keep Plugin-innin' away! Will post here what success I have! (OR maybe M$ is deliberately sabotaging our ActiveX-cripple
mess as it loads!) Thanks for the suggestions a37271!
FIND UPDATE...FIND UPDATE.. ALL OK..ALL OK.....

Is there a alternative to Plugin-container (or a way to disable It)?

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
Is there a alternative to Plugin-container? It just showed up In my system processes when I updated to Firefox 3.6.6. I've never had problems with plugins crashing but ever since plugin-container.exe crashes have happened more frequently and plugins like Adobe Flash are now taking a lot longer to load. I have an older computer and I noticed plugin-container Is a different process and takes up a large amount of memory, didn't have that problem before. Is there a way to disable It? Even though Its suppose to resolve problems, I've never had any before and now that I have It I'm having problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
== This happened

Not sure how often

How can I fix a "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working" error?

Windows 7, Firefox 30
After changing how Firefox handled cookies (changed to forbidding 3rd party cookies, asking permission to set cookies), I rebooted my system, and Firefox would not start - I got the error message in the question. I uninstalled Firefox, and then re-installed, and Firefox ran fine. After some hours, I closed Firefox and rebooted the system, and again, Firefox hangs upon start, and I get the Plugin Container has stopped working error message.
Since Firefox won't work on my Windows desktop, I'm using my Linux desktop to look here for help. The problem details reported are:

Thanks in advance!

plugin-container.exe is crashing repeatedly. The error code is 0x80000003, the faulting module is mozalloc.dll, version 33.0.0.5397, fault address 0x00001425. Hardware acceleration is disabled, and I have disabled all plugins in an attempt to cure the problem (only Acrobat and Flash were enabled, and Flash is up to date).
(Edit) I'm running EMET 4.1 - if this is memory-related might that be significant?
Here are some crashes from the past few hours (many more if you want them)

The crashes are intrusive but Firefox itself is not usually affected - so isolating the plugins works as intended.
(I tried creating a separate thread for this but the process stalled at Stage 3)

My system is incompatible with the plugIn-Container of the versions 3.6 to 4.0 only compatible with 3.5.19 and below

Hello,
I have a system AMD Athlon 64 2x 6000+ with windows XP Pro sp3 with 32 bit, dual core.
When I changed to Firefox 3.6.11 (I don't know what it was before) the Firefox crashes each time when I click on "tools/options", "File/open File" or if I try to download a file. The same happens with any version starting with 3.6.0
There is no message : the program is not responding, the sand clock is running and nothing happens. I reproduced this about twenty times. I have running the 4.0 beta version and the 3.5.16 version simultaneously.
The only answer I found in the internet is to change the name from firefox.exe to some other name (firefox1.exe). This doesn't work in my case. If there is any method to analyze exactly what happens I would like to try it. I only found out by looking in the administration tool of windows that the plugIn Container crashes all the time - with or without loading any plugIn. Starting in safe modus and several new clean installations didn't change anything.
I have firefox 3.6.13 running on another (Intel)system without problems but any version starting with 3.6 is not compatible on my AMD system.
I would like to upgrade my firefox one day - but if this is not solved I will never be able to.....
There are other people in the internet with the same problem - anyway to change the name from firefox to firefox1.exe is not a solution - in the best case a work-around.
Please help me...
Thommy

I think there is a bug in Plug-in check. It happened to me as well in the last few days. There's no newer version of Adobe Reader that I know of. Anyway, Adobe is going to release a patch next Tuesday, maybe that'll fix this bug.

Firefox crashing---most likely related to the plugin container issue, but also unable to uninstall firefox, there is no prompt that opens when I try to.

Like many others, I've been having issues with firefox since the update. The plugin container seems to crash my browser, or freeze the whole of my computer, and I must restart. I've switched to internet explorer for now.
Moreover, now Firefox doesn't even seem to open now. I doubleclick on the icon, or try to launch the browser in any way, and it looks like it thinks about opening, but nothing ever occurs. I've watched my system processes, and firefox.exe appears for a moment, and then disappears, like its process has ended, but I've done nothing.
Additionally, I can't even seem to uninstall firefox---the uninstall setup doesn't open, and trying to do it from add/remove programs on windows xp doesn't seem to work either.
I also sometimes get an error that says windows can't find a file/path, related to a 'profile' but haven't had that for a day or so---since I can't even open firefox now.

Hello sprytely, go for a clean re-install, this means you '''remove Firefox program files''' and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from the next full installer https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING:Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Thank you.

Plugin CONTAINER keeps crashing, now a specific plugin noted, but sometimes Adobe crashes too... What is the fix for the CONTAINER?

I have had this problem for a few months. I am using version 3.6.12, have always updated when noticed, couldn't find a resolution for the problem and have been waiting to see if the fix came with one of the updates, but it continues. Firefox will just stop working, if a video is playing, the sound still goes on for a while, but I notice the crash if I go to a screen and it fades upon a click with the revolving wheel turning... then note that my Windows Vista system say, FIREFOX NOT RESPONDING. Always trying to resolve the problem, Windows only comes back with the Plugin Container has crashed. I have had problems with the Adobe Flash player crashing too. I was told in a Windows Vista forum that the plugin noted to be for Windows Vista 32 bit was the same and good for Windows Vista 16 bit.... but I tend not to believe this with all the problems I am experiencing here now.

I read a few similar reports, however, referencing specific plugins, and one frequently mentioned in replys was the Adobe plugin. The suggestion there was to downgrade to 3.6.6. I have since done this, I will update if it worked or not. I disabled automatic updates of Firefox due to this problem. I hope to see Firefox notify users of the fixes the next updates will contain. With all due respect to Firefox, if this downgrade works, I will hesitate to update until I know this problem is corrected as it is to severe and troublesome. Thank you.

Since i upgraded to newest ffox it opens sometimes as many as 7 plugin-container.exe 's followed with quicktime failed to open alert..and FF takes forever to open sometimes as long as 4 mins ..

If someone can answer the question were will i find the answer ?

There is a plugin container for each plugin in use. That is why there is more than one running at a time sometimes.

Disabling hardware acceleration might help. You can do that from Options > Advanced > General.

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.
Flash Local storage settings Help:

I keep getting error message that plugin container has an issue that needs to be resolved. Some of my extensions and add ons are no longer loading either. I

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plug ins as well as gone to the trouble shooting area for these plugins. I have tried installing firefox again. I also tried using beta 4 and I had the same issue. Also it is taking forever to load pages.

Did you make sure that your firewall or other security software isn't blocking the plugin-container process?
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins

Firefox is crashing at random times, sometimes pointing to plugin-container.

I typically have Firefox running all the time. Recently it has been crashing at random times. Some of the crashes leave messages saying that plugin-container has crashed. Some are reported and leave behind a record in about:crashes, but in other cases the program just dies.
I tried to locate the crash reports online but could not. It says it's searching and then says "Oh Noes"...
I've updated to 3.6.13, the latest Java. I often run other browsers as well (Chrome, IE) for certain tasks. Can those interfere with Firefox???

It looks like the Crash Reports server is overloaded right now and "times out" with that '''''Oh Noes!''''' message.
Try disabling the Java Quick Start extension, and maybe the McAfee Site Advisor extensions. Two other extensions that are known to be problematic in Firefox are already disabled.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
Other browsers shouldn't affect Firefox or cause it to crash, even if they are running at the same time as Firefox - unless you are maxing out your RAM or CPU. I have had 4 different version of Firefox running simultaneously, along with 5 or 6 other browsers on a fairly basic AMD 2.2 GHz processor with 2 GB of RAM, on WinXP - without problems or Firefox crashing.
