Hi everyone,

I had a question about FlashPlayerPlugin_11_4_402_287.exe *32 and why it is two times in the task manager, but I read some others problems like this and get the answer, thanks.

I disabled the plugin-container.exe in about:config and changed the value to "false" but it still appears in TM.

Can I disable it or not?

My OS is W7 (64 bits) and I use Firefox

Thanks for your time.

    Hello Muller, sorry I am not Everyone, however I do have the same issue as if Firefox is not slow enough as it is, and to add to the frustration Flash Player crashes frequently over and over, no matter how many times I Report the Crash and Reload the Page, still does not work, then I have to Exit Firefox and re-launch, click to restore History right in the middle of my work.  Very disruptive.

    And before Adobe asks, yes to updating Firefox, and constanly checking for updates of Windows 7, 64-bit, my Anti-Virus and other Security features.  The current Adobe Flash Player version as the file name shows 11.4.402.287 as of 8 & 9 Oct 2012.

    Of course the answer maybe in the file name after .EXE of *32 for 32 bit running on a 64 bit system.  I do not have this problem with using Google Chrome v 22.0.1229.94 and possibly may work better for yourself as well.

    And I do not use I.E. v 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit Edition, never have liked I.E., slower than Firefox.  And to think after 30 yrs of using computers something would work properly 98% of the time.

    Hi Firedoc2, thanks for answer

    Sorry for answering so late, but I don't have much time,

    I installed Google Chrome, and the processes didn't appear in the TM.. I don't like Chrome and IE, 'cause Chrome consumes many resources and IE.. I never liked IE.

    I don't have problems with Firefox and Flash Player, it never crashes. I just want to know why plugin-container still shows up at the TM, after I disabled it and why "FlashPlayerPlugin_11_4_402_287.exe" is two times like process... I know "*32" is for 32 bits.

    Finally I found the answer in a mozilla forum.. to disable plugin-container I set an environment variable and disabled Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox,

    So problem resolved.

    Anyway, thanks for your help.

    Jack Muller.
