I was forced to load an update of Firefox, (new plugincontainer probably not prooved enough by your experts); with the use of FF 3.6... and with new plugincontainer severaltimes froozen screen occurred. Taskmanager showed plugincontainer, after killing that job, FF3.6... continued with that website.
Please don't throw any update into peoples working software, without explanations, what the new version or plugincontainer will be goog for.
I stopped updates, cookies.... and all that thrash! in consequence I don'like to use FF... any longer!


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
I reloaded the former version of FF 3.6.. without any update and hopefully with no plugincontainer (thrash!!)
it is working bravely....  no frozen screen and no anger!

Expected Results:  
stop automatic uploads! Explain people what will happen with new version or what the changes are good for. let people decide what they want FF should do!!
give them any chance to avoid unprooved updates entering their machines.

Plugin-container is only a thin wrapper around the plugin. So make sure that you're running the latest version of all your plugins ! It really solves many of the problems.

Note that IE and Firefox are not using the same version of Flash, so you still need to check for an update even if you think that you have downloaded the latest one (in IE).

If this still happens using the latest version of Flash player, can you post the website address of pages where this happens please.
