Firefox users are experiencing instability issues after the latest version update, with reports of high CPU usage, unresponsive mouse actions, and script errors prompting users to stop scripts. Specific scripts causing problems have been identified, and users are seeking solutions to manage these issues. One user noted that the Plugin-Container.EXE*32 process is consuming significant resources, leading to inquiries about disabling it, as it is not covered in Firefox's manual. Suggestions include downgrading Firefox to a previous version or switching to alternative browsers like Google Chrome or Opera for better performance.

I have a lot of problem with Firefox lately ever since the latest version. It is very unstable. My latest problem is the cpu seems to be very busy and stop responding to the mouse and the fan turn on ( high power usage). There a numerous times a window popped up and said to stop the scrip. This is what I copy down, can anyone tell me how to deal with the scrip problems? Here are the two:

Plugin-Container.EXE*32

That use 25% of the resource and it is related to Firefox. How do I disable this, it is not in the tool manual of Firefox.

Thanks

Chrome is a browser from google. Opera is another brand of browser.
 

Thread 'How far will we let AI control us?'

I’ve spent nearly my entire life online, and witnessed AI become integrated into our lives. It’s clear that AI is apart of us now whether we like it or not, unless your a anti tech cabin lover. AI has some form of control over your life. But what I’ve seen very recently is that people are loosing their ingenuity and deciding to use AI.
