Plugin container shutsdown with data exception v13.0

Since going to v13, I have been getting the pop up error saying that the plugin container has been shutdown with a data exception error.
It doesn't give an indication as to what plugin it was trying to execute or service. I can't be doing the window blind imitation. So I deleted v13 and installed an earlier version.
Is there a way to find out what plugin / extension is causing this?

Knock knock firefox. there is a problem. many many people are having this same issue. it is not us. It is YOU. Fix FF or work with Adobe to fix the problem.

  • What is, how to fix, stop, small popup window from 'plugin-container.exe' with 3 digit number that won't stop re-appearing???

    I get very small windows popping up on the screen on top of anything else I'm doing regardless of what apps I'm running or not running. If I R-click on the icon in the task bar, it's identified as "plugin-container.exe"
    The window doesn't say why it's there, but only displays a 3 digit number (for example the on on the screen now says 587) and allows only the usual X to close, or an 'OK' button to close. But a short time later it pops up again.
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit MS Security Essentials and Firefox, though it will pop up even if I just booted and haven't started Firefox yet.
    It's really (really really) annoying. How can I fix it or disable it or whatever it takes to make it STOP.
    Perhaps if I had some idea what it was I could attack it that way, but I haven't a clue. BTW, I've cleaned the registry, and done full scan's for virus and turned up nada.
    Thanks.

    As per the web site:
    There will be no update to Waterfox 25.0 as a bug causes Adobe Flash to crash on 64-Bit Windows 7 systems. Bug here. Although Firefox 25.0.1 is now available and we could build it, there would be no point of releasing a new version of Waterfox for only two weeks.
    I mostly only use Waterfox and had no problem in the past. I suspect a flash problem may be at the root of my problem however.
    As stated, I've performed (full) virus scans with MS Security Essentials. Also with Housecall, and also with HiJackThis. No problems detected.

  • Plugin container bug with flash video.

    Using latest portable FF4 and latest flash plugin, While playing flash videos the "plugin container" module of FF starts using up 100% cpu and whole computer is bogged down. even after closeing the page with the flash video the plugin container module sometimes stays stuck at 100% cpu. If I close it, the flash plugin crashes and I would have to restart FF to get workin again. This has happened with past releases of FF and flash also, so updating is not working for me. Have sent crash reports many time now..

    That can be caused by clearing the cookies via "Clear Recent History".
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    * Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    * Firefox > History > Clear Recent History
    * Tools > Clear Recent History
    If you use "Clear Recent History" to clear the cookies then Firefox also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash (LSO) and starts a plugin-container process for each plugin and that can add extra time and can cause an unresponsive script error to appear.

  • Latest up date with plugin container has made firefox lag and eating memory and cpu

    plugin container using 5% cpu constantly, firefox using 150 - 300k ram, also plugin container not closing when firefox does causing shut down to fail have to use controll alt delete

    Flash games cause Firefox Plug-in container to hang. The problems started as soon as the plug-in container became a part of Firefox two updates ago.
    Memory usage is up to 3 times what Firefox itself is using and when the hangs occur, the plug-in container is using in excess of 50% of the computer's memory. At this point, I need to switch to a different browser to play these games for longer than a few minutes at a time.

  • Firefox 7.0.1 multiple plugin-container.exe's open when private data is cleared.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/823728]]</blockquote>
    Once again it's happening, although it's not causing me any serious problems it's a bug none the less. Occasionally when I clear my private data multiple plugin-container.exe's will open. Although this time for the most part the maximum I've seen is 4 or 5. Unlike the max of 9 that occurred with version 4. In addition I noticed that it was either with version 5 or 6 that this issue was solved. As when I cleared private data only 1 plugin-container.exe opened.

    I can't believe this is still happening. For a while there with version 6.0 I think it was fixed. Now however that I've updated to 7.0.1 it's once again a regular occurrence.

  • Why does plugin-container.exe not start up with Firefox 3.6.15 anymore?

    I have Firefox 3.6.15, Firefox 4.0 RC1 and Pale Moon 3.6.15 on my PC. Even though each .exe file is in a separate folder, if I start up say, Firefox 4.0 RC1 for awhile and then close it and start up Firefox 3.6.15 my settings are messed up and I have to fix some of them. I just noticed in Task Manager that plugin-container.exe does not start up with FF 3.6.15 and FF 4.0 RC1 and Pale Moon 3.6.15 anymore. I'm not sure what I did to cause this. I even went into Mozilla's folder and tried to start up plugin-container manually, but it does not start up. I'm at a loss, do I have to do a clean install of three browsers to fix this?

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

  • Which is the most up to date version of FF that does not include the plugin-container ?

    Hi Good People at Firefox
    Firstly may I say that you have created a great product which kicked MS's ass for a long time however I'm now concerned that the latest updates are pushing my poor old desktop to the limit.
    Upgraded to 4 today and the dreaded plugin container loaded yet again. On a PC with 512k memory and FF's notoriously bad memory management (i.e. it doesnt release memory when tabbed windows are closed) the plugin container is the last thing I need.
    So can you tell me which is the most up to date version of FF that doesnt include the plugin-container option ? i.e. the last version of Firefox before plugin container.
    I think it was version 3.?? but now I cannot revert to the previous installation to find out.
    Thanks
    Michael Dalton

    You can disable the plugin-container in any Firefox version that uses it.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    You can set the pref <b>dom.ipc.plugins.enabled</b> to false on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the plugin-container process (OOPP)
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • 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 opening with 2 plugin-container.exe

    recently updated my flash to the latest and noticed a bit of slow down (this is an older computer) checked out my process and were as when i used to open firefox i would only get 1 firefox process and 1 Plugin-container.exe i was now getting those,and Extra Plugin-container.exe and 2 flash process so i reverted to the last flash uodate and it got rid of the flash process and it was a bit faster but i still have 2 Plugin-container.exe every time i load firefox
    one just sits there using around 2,500 k all the time and i can manually close it with it not messing a single thing up flash and everything else works just fine and it no re opening itself so anyone know how i can get rid of this Extra Plugin-container.exe so every time i open firefox its not just taking up space and slowing me down

    hello every plugin is running in its different container in order to enhance stability and security of the browser. this is normal behaviour and not detriment to your computer's performance.
    please refer to the following blog post, that explains why there are more porcesses running with the new adobe flash plugin: http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html

    I have a slide show (project) that will not export.  The error triangle appears with the message: "This movie contains an invalid data reference"  What is the issue, and what is the solution?
    jh

    I found that the issue was with the title side, it had too many characters in the slide.  When the number of characters was diminished, the show loaded without issue.

  • Searching Web Apps with Data Source fields containing multiple values

    I have a Web App with a field allowing multiple values to be entered similar to the checkbox list. I need to restrict allowed values to a large, finite list of values currently stored in another Web App as the data source. I can't apply the Data Source field type as that only allows single value selection. I also need to be able to use the Web App Search form to search for items containing 1 OR more values in this field (the search functionality of a checklist field type). Here's what I've tried for field types:
    Text (string) or Text (multiline) field type - By saving a list of comma separated values (the same way that checkbox list outputs) to a text input or textarea, the search logic only searches for exact string (including commas) and doesn't parse the individual values.
    List (checkbox list) field type - This allows me to search multiple values using OR logic, but the web app will only store values that have been entered as options in the actual web app field setup. I tried using a checkbox list with minimal or empty options hoping that whatever values I sent over in a comma separated string value would still get stored, but because the values came from my Web App data source and not the list of options stored with the field, they were not saved.
    Has anyone found a way to do this?
    My other question is about how I might use a similar multi-value field as described above but return search results containing items with ALL selected values for that field (AND logic).
    Can anyone enlighten me to the inner workings of BC web app search logic?

    Thanks Robert.
    You'll need to create your own interface to the webapp database for those kind of data operations
    by this, are you speaking of the internal BC database which stores web app schema data? That would be great if it were possible to update that programmatically because I need to use the List (Checkbox List) field type (for the search functionality), but I need to supply the checkbox options from a web app rather than by manually updating the list entered in the Fields view of the web app settings (shown below).
    I'm curious if anyone else has tried this?
    Again, my reason for needing to use the List (Checkbox List) field type is that the page which processes searches knows to expect a comma separated list for this field type and then appears to be parsing out the individual values for searching out web app items with 1 or more matching values. You're right that text fields (string and multiline) just check for 'string contains' matches, and this would be ok if I was only ever needing to search just one value at a time. Here's an example of what I might do:
    Web App item field value (as recorded against the List (Checkbox List) field type:
    8294877,8294878
    Web App Search value (for this same field):
    8294879,8294877,8294885
    The search would return this web app item because the field contains 2 (1 or more) individual values even though they were entered into the search field in a different order. If this web app item were just a Text (string or multiline) field, the searched value is not a substring of the web app item's stored value, so it would not find a match. Hence the need to use Checkbox List field type.
    The web app will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of records, so dumping them all into one big array or object and searching on the front-end won't be practical (though it works great on smaller datasets).

    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.

  • 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...
