Plugin Container for Firefox is a special tool in the Mozilla Firefox browser that allows you to continue using the web browser even if the work of any plugin installed in Firefox has been stopped ( Flash Player, Java, etc.).

The problem is that this method requires a significant amount of work from the computer. more resources, and if the system cannot cope, plugin-container.exe starts to crash.

Thus, to eliminate the problem, it is necessary to reduce consumption Mozilla browser Firefox CPU resources and random access memory. This was previously discussed in more detail in one of our articles.

A more radical way to fix the problem is to disable plugin-container.exe. It should be understood that by disabling this tool, if the plugins crash, Mozilla Firefox will also shut down, so this method should be addressed as a last resort.

How to deactivate plugin-container.exe?

The problem is that this way disables plugin-container.exe in latest versions Mozilla Firefox will not work, because... Simply, the required parameter will be missing.

About six months ago, on my win 8.1, a problem appeared with absolutely all games crashing.

Hello everyone, about six months ago a problem appeared - after closing some programs, a “program has stopped working” window appears with a proposal to close it.

Every program, every application installed on your computer, one way or another, loads the processor. Accordingly, it is very important to monitor how resource-intensive programs you run, especially if your computer’s processor is old or weak.

A web browser is undoubtedly a basic program that is available on any computer, because without it it is impossible to access the Internet. It is moderately “gluttonous” and under normal conditions the browser, in particular Firefox, does not load the processor too much. But what should you do if, when you launch your browser, you suddenly begin to notice severe system freezes and slowdowns? Perhaps a virus got inside your computer or a plugin crashed.

What to do

So, under normal conditions, a web browser should not load the processor by more than 10%. Open the “Task Manager” by simultaneously pressing the ++ keys, and find “firefox.exe” in the list of processes. If there really is a problem, then you may see the scary message “firefox is loading the processor at 100%”, and of course, something needs to be done about it!

To correct the situation, do the following:

Perhaps it's a Java script issue. In one of the previous materials, I already talked about this, namely: go to the “Settings” of the browser, then to “Tools” and uncheck the box next to the “Enable JavaScript” line. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that after disconnection, some sites may not work correctly, and you should only resort to this method if absolutely necessary.

Plugin-container

• open your browser and write “about:config” in the address bar without quotes;
• in the “Filter” field, write “dom.ipc...” as shown in the screenshot, after which the necessary variables will be filtered automatically. Now change their value to “false”, the end result should look like, again, in the screenshot. Restart your computer.

I hope that these simple tips will help you cope with the problem, and your favorite browser will not consume more than 10%, conditionally allotted for its normal functioning.

Some users of the popular Mozilla Firefox encounter a problem when the browser displays the error “ Plugin-container.exe for Firefox", causing the browser program to stop working. In addition, the plugin-container.exe process heavily loads the processor, causing the computer to slow down.

In this article, we will figure out what this process is and whether it needs to be disabled or deleted.

Plugin-container.exe - what is it?

Plugin-container.exe is a process that is responsible for loading plugins separately from FIrefox. That is, if there is a fall of any installed plugin, then this does not affect the main firefox.exe process and the browser can safely continue to work despite the malfunction.

How to solve the problem with the PC freezing and the error “Plugin-container.exe for Firefox”?

Despite the fact that Plugin-container.exe is a very convenient process that ensures that Mozilla Firefox operates independently of the plugins and extensions installed in it, it has a drawback: it is very resource intensive. This means that by setting a large number of plugins, the computer will slow down. And too many heavy plugins can cause the “Plugin-container.exe for Firefox” error. That is, these problems have the same root.

There is only one way to fix the problem with brakes, freezes, and errors: by completely disabling the Plugin-container.exe process.

In older versions of Firefox you can:

1. Terminate the Plugin-container.exe process in the Windows Task Manager by calling it using the Ctrl Alt Del (Delete) key combination;
2. Open Mozilla Firefox;
3. Type into the address bar of your browser: about:config ;
4. Find in the search: dom.ipc.plugins.enabled and change the switch from true to false;
5. Restart the browser.

But in new versions the search does not find the line dom.ipc.plugins.enabled . And there is no sensible solution as such. As evidenced by the correspondence on the Firefox forum:

This means that you either need to switch to old version, either completely disable all plugins, extensions and add-ons, or opt for another browser (Google Chrome, Opera).

You can disable plugins in Firefox by typing the following into the address bar: about:addons .
