Firefox Plugin Container won't start?

[Colin]

After the powers go out, firefox stopped launching the plugin container, which results in issues and errors when a page needs to load flash player and other apps. It's not appearing in the taskbar process list, I restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled firefox which did not fix it.

Any solutions & suggestions are welcome. Thanks for any help.

You might have to restart your computer and reinstall firefox afterwards.
