Plugin-container.exe is EATING cpu clock cycles and slowing down my computer big-time. Is there a fix to prevent this, or do I just have to disable this subsidiary program and take the consequences?

Whenever I have an audiovisual display running in a Firefox (5.0) tab, the program "plugin-container.exe" swamps my CPU, jumping up to 95% of processing clock cycles. This makes all online video displays hang and jump, and it's a pain in the neck. Is there any way to mitigate this?

That's supposed to indicate it's your plug-ins like Flash that is the problem.

You might try changing hardware acceleration, a setting within Flash either turn if off or on.
