I've noticed (in Windows Task Manager) that Firefox is spawning multiple "plug-in container.exe" files, Is this typical? Is there any cause for concern? TG 10/28

If this is when you or Firefox clear History or cookies, it is no cause for concern, it is a known bug that has not yet been fixed (Bug 633427 Clearing cookies launches instance of plugin-container for each plugin installed).
