In Firefox 3.6.4 and above versions, plugins like Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime and Silverlight are loaded in a separate process called Plugin-container.exe and helps Firefox.exe main process to stay open even though any one of plug-ins crashes. It annoys users sometimes, when plug-in container.exe runs in the background and shows crashed warning dialog boxes of it, when it crashes. We can disable plugin-container.exe easily, here is how.
Note: Plug-in crash protection has been offered to make Firefox more stable and to reduce less crashes, so it is not recommended to disable plug-in container.exe process.
