I am getting a pop up box saying that there is a problem with the plug in container for firefox. It keeps saying do I want windows to find a fix for it and close it or do I just want to close the program. What is this plug in container for firefox and why am I constantly getting this message? It has been happening for the past month or two.

It means either you have a faulty/out of date plugin, or your firewall/antivirus is causing problems with Firefox.

Make sure you update all your plugins and disable unwanted ones. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-remove-add-ons

Also, make sure your firewall/antivirus is not blocking plugincontainer.exe from the Firefox folder in your computer. How you make sure that's not the case will depend on your firewall/antivirus.
