    Hi guys - wondering if anyone has run into this. I'm using Firefox 4.0.1, and am unable to get the NVIDIA control panel to recognize the application in its settings. In other words, where you can go to "customize which programs use the GPU," (see attached) Firefox is not only missing, it actually can't be added. Any NVIDIA people out there have a solution?

    Add "plugin-container.exe" (in the same folder) it should handle everything that concerns flash and addons in general (the things that usually query the GPU). I did it and it's working flawlessly :)
