Now more than two weeks since I posted the information requested by @jscher2000 but still no response.
I've had another 6 crashes today, caused by "Plug in container stopped working".
Either Mozilla can help, or they cannot - If not I'll jut have to find another browser, which I DON'T want to have to do!

Please send the other crash reports that were no sent to Mozilla servers.
You are using far too much memory.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?
Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

You have no other messages posted here. When did jscher2000 talk to you?
Hi Yaaklenmai, thank you for starting this new thread, I'm not sure how I missed it.
These reports are for crashes that Firefox reported; plugin-container.exe crashes that involve the small Windows crash dialog are not reported to Mozilla. For those, since the most commonly used plugin is Flash, I had suggested trying the steps in this reply as a starting point: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1119780#answer-869374
Did that help with plugin-container.exe crashes?
As Fred noted, your four most recent crashes show high memory use: 91%, 94%, 95% and 96% memory in use. Firefox doesn't run well under those conditions. On a 2GB system, this may be an ongoing problem.
If this problem is happening on Facebook, I'm not sure there is a workaround because the site's "endless scrolling" design loads more and more content which causes Firefox to use more and more memory...
