Recently when using Windows Live or Hotmail, when I try to attach a file it crashes. I am using Firefox 9.01. These are not big files. I need this feature for work. It happens about 90% of the time. If I close Firefox and start again, I can sometimes attach a file, and then the next time it will crash.

Error says plugin-container.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Then another window opens and says - The Silverlight plugin crashed.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

-> Update All your Firefox Plugins

  • https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
  • 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.
