Firefox keeps locking up--plugin-container.exe?
Like the subject says...Firefox worked fine when I first started using it (I'm on Windows 7, a Samsung laptop), but lately it seems to keep freezing up more and more, forcing me to close all windows--when I click on them they fade out and I get the error message telling me Firefox isn't responding and will have to close. Sometimes it happens several times in a row, and it's getting very frustrating; I switched from my last browser because the crashes had gotten too bothersome, so I hate that Firefox is starting to do the same thing. :( Almost all of the errors seem to have to do with "plugin-container.exe," when I check the technical details.
The next-to-last most recent one:

Last night I changed Flash to activate only when I tell it to, but got another lockup not long after starting use of the browser today:

What can I do to fix this? It's getting so troublesome. :(
Please note I am NOT computer savvy!--so please try to keep any solutions or questions for further information simple!
Thank you.
