John99 mentioned here that disabling plugin-container was not a wise move: /questions/981593#answer-518835

You should reverse whatever you did to disable plugin-container.

See also: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins#Flash_plugin_on_Windows_Vista_and_above ...which links to Bug 769721 - Force-enable OOPP for Flash users on Windows Vista+ (according to that bug, disabling OOPP for Flash can cause Firefox crashiness if protected mode in Flash is enabled or when updating Flash).
