when i run firefox and its connected to the net i find firefox is slowing down my browseing experience, i investigated this by looking at task manager in xp and with firefox running i am using between 44 and 56% of cpu resources the culprit is plugin container.exe but why is this because all my plugins are disabled why is plugin container active at all if on plugins are being used....never had this problem with older versions of firefox....any ideas?
