Firefox 41.0 and the Plugin-Container
So, plugin-container has been a problem with Firefox for basically ever. But, upon my update to Firefox 41.0 a few weeks ago, it has become completely untennable when I have my flash plugin activated. It's to the point where I basically have to have my Flash plugin not activated, at all.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to fix this, or is simply not using Flash the only way to prevent this?

Forgot to mention is that the plugin container hangs and then I must manually close down the problem, which causes embedded videos and such to crash, of course.
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- make sure you have the latest Flash version:
http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html - check for updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration - disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
- disable hardware acceleration in Firefox

Everything is properly updated (as is usual with almost everyone who has had problems with this), and hardware acceleration is disabled (as is usual with almost everyone who has had problems with this).
