Do not toggle the pref dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to true. See this MozillaZine KB instead: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins

You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process. dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default in Firefox 3.6.6) dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash) dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight) dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
