The service "plugin-container.exe *32" keeps growing in size, 1,000,000+ k, and slows me to a virtual stop and I have to reboot. What to do?

I've tried refreshing Firefox, and deleting in Task Manager, but it just keeps growing like out of control weed, no matter how many times I reboot.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
