Plugin-container.exe is a Firefox process that is used to
load plugins separately so if a plugin crashes Firefox won’t be affected by the
crash and will stay responsive.
Sadly there are a lot of people experiencing problems
with plugin-container so in some cases they might want to disable it. In
previous versions of Firefox it was possible to disable plugin-container.exe by
- Enter about:config in your address bar
- Search for dom.ipc.plugins.enabled
- Set their values to false
This method doesn’t seem to work anymore with the newer
versions of Firefox. Luckily there is a different workaround by setting a
system or a user enviroment variable.
- Right click on your computer icon on the desktop and click properties
- Go to Advance system settings
- Click the button called "Environment Variables"
- Click the “New” button under User variables or System variables depending if you want the change to affect all the users on the system or just the one you are currently logged as
- Set the variable name to MOZ_DISABLE_OOP_PLUGINS and its value to 1
And you are done. Restart or re-launch Firefox and you
will notice that plugin-container.exe will not be used any more.
