Hello. Recently i was browsing with my FireFox and discovered something odd/strange.

Usually whenever i start up firefox, even on just the basic homepage, it starts up with Plugin Container in the background.

Now sometimes it does not show up with plugin container at the background at all.

Now this bothers me because a reset made the plugin container show up each time I open firefox.

I'm not sure if this is a major scale problem, but in short, is there a way to disable plugin container from showing up in the task manager list?

The plugin container is a separate process for things like the flash player.

I don't think you understand the issue.

Let's say, at times, I'm using FireFox.

Sometimes when i start firefox, it has a little Plugin Container show up alongside it in Task Manager.

Other times, it doesn't, and the Plugin Container does not show up until i restart my computer.

I'm wondering if this is a issue with my system or with Firefox or something else entirely.

I know what plugin container is. That isn't the issue.

The issue is why does sometimes it shows up in task manager and other times it does not.
