there is one other problem maybe you could help me with. ive had it for a quite a while.
The plugin container process always runs at 80-100% cpu all the time any idea how to calm it down?
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins
When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)
-> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
