Plug-in container keeps my CPU so busy it heats up, and slows all usage under Firefox. Why hasn't it been fixed? I don't want to leave Firefox and go to Chrome, but I may have to.

Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
