Hi All,

I have a problem with Mozilla Firefox...... it keeps crashing and tells Me that Plugin container has stopped working. I have scoured the web for a fix for this issue to no avail.
I have update My flash and shockwave to the latest versions.
The description copied and pasted below.

I have not a clue....I've not devoted the time to finding out yet. I would have to think that there is. I have always thought it was our corporate firewall causing it (when I'm at home, I'm on a tablet.)

fwiw, I've found it to be more site related. the local news rag down here, chron.com, crashes it at least once or twice a week.

After running the update (41.0.1), a new button appeared in the upper left corner of Firefox:



That's related to a service I had never even heard of, Pocket. Needless to say, I've immediately removed the annoying icon. I can do pretty much what the app does simply by creating bookmarks, without another annoying registration... :rolleyes:

Hi Phantom010,

To be honest with You I havent done anything..!! thanks to Your kind advice I checked to see if Firefox had automattically updated to the latest version and it had done so, and I also did as You said and removed Pocket, since then I have had no problems with Plugin Container.....thankfully !!.
