I have all plugins disabled (never activate) however plugin container always runs and right now, fon instance, takes 97.432 K in task manager but that number normally goes over 120.000K.

hi josegime, in the new multi-process architecture that is getting rolled out in recent firefox releases, other web content might run in the plugin-container.exe process as well: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2016/08/02/whats-next-for-multi-process-firefox/
