I have Firefox 37 on an XP computer, which has its max RAM. Plugin-container uses a lot on the RAM so it slows my pc . Can I elim plugin-container on Firefox 37 and if so how ?

That would be setting dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
