    Been getting a message from FF browser that the "plugin container has stopped working. "
    Locks up the browser so only thing i can do is to close FF via task manager and restart.

    Anyone else seen this on their FF?

    thanks,
    savagcl

    In FF > Help > Restart with addons disabled and add your selection of plugins back one at a time.

    Plugins are loaded separately from Firefox, allowing the main Firefox process to stay open if a plugin crashes. Each plugin is loaded separately from Firefox in a plugin-container.exe process, allowing the main Firefox process (firefox.exe) to stay open if a plugin crashes.
    instead of ending the firefox app in task manager, end the plugin container process and firefox can stay open.
