Windows XP Home Edition SP3 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.21 Flash 11.7.700.224 (11.7 r700(224)) I used Ctrl-Alt-Del to view the Windows Task Manager. While plugin-container.exe appeared, it was not consuming any CPU resources, only memory. Note that plugin-container.exe is also used for plugins other than Flash. Safe Mode only disables extensions, not plug-ins. I think it was a very bad decision when the Mozilla developers started referring to "add-ons" as including both; this has led to extreme confusion among end users. I control Flash with the Flashblock extension from <http://flashblock.mozdev.org/>. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Where does your elected official stand?
