Hi, I can’t find the settings options you wrote about. Now simply restart Firefox and you will notice that the plugin-container.exe process will not be used any more. Set the variable name to MOZ_DISABLE_OOP_PLUGINS and its value to 1Īnd that is all you have to do.Click the “New” button under User variables or System variables depending if you want the change to affect all the users on the system or just the one you are currently logged as.

Click the button called 'Environment Variables'.Right click on your computer icon on the desktop and click properties.Follow the steps below if the first method did not work for you. Luckily there is a different workaround which can achieve the same exact result by setting a system or a user environment variable. Sadly the above method doesn’t seem to work anymore with the newer versions of Firefox. In older versions of Firefox it was possible to disable plugin-container.exe by following the steps below. Since there are a lot of people experiencing problems with the plugin-container process I wanted to provide you with two easy methods for disabling it.

Plugin-container.exe is a Firefox process that is used to load plugins separately so if a plugin crashes for whatever reason, Firefox won’t be affected by the crash and will stay responsive.
