What is Plugin container

It isolates Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins from the main browser, so that if one of those plug-ins crashes, your whole browser does not crash. This was done due to the large number of crashes caused by plug-ins. Plans are to add more plug-ins in later updates to Firefox.

Why I am disabling it .

In Low end system with slow speed connection the plugin container may slows down the system and it takes much resource . So it is much better to disable Plugin container

Steps

1 Open the firefox browser type the following command in the address bar without quote
"about:config"

2 Accept this might void your warranty .

3 When the list of preferences appears, find the following preferences type "dom.ipc" in the filter section

4 these for list will appear in the browser and doble click on it to make it false.

These are for windows

dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Microsoft Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (Apple QuickTime)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Adobe Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nptest.dll (NPAPI test plugin)

For linux

dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libflashplayer.so (Adobe Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libnptest.so (NPAPI test plugin)

Hope this helps

  • @pielover8888

    It is your choice whether or not to disable plugin. If you don't want you could settle with the your method of restarting the firfox every time it crashes . :)

  • @Xtermination100 i think he means to make it not show, but i think being able to end it and UNcrash firefox is a plus..
