What is Firefox plugin container
Firefox plugin container 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.
plugin-container.exe - is an external executable to solve Firefox internal problems.
An out-of-process plugin runs in a separate process named “plugin-container” (“plugin-container.exe” on Windows). The plugin container process is separated from the main Firefox process to ensure that the browser does not crash if any of the plugin stops responding.
In order to help protect users from plugins and plugin scripts that stop responding, Firefox now includes a “hang detector,” which watches for plugins that have stopped working.
