see this link for operation of plugin-container;

  http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins

it is possible that if you have a lot of plugins, they are using up
memory, or just one is hogging memory.

if you have multi java plugins, disable them one by one to see if hogging
and you could delete old ones.

also, if you have plugins that you seldom use, disable them.

another thing you can do is disable all add-ons to see how much memory
plugin-container is using.

remember, you must restart firefox for changes to apply.
