Try this approach to access a page using a plugin requiring the container:

cygstart http://bbc.co.uk 
winpid='' 
while [ -z "$winpid" ] 
do
	winpid=$(ps -W | awk '/plugin-container/ { print $4 ; print $0 >
"/dev/stderr" }') 
	sleep 1 
done 
echo dumper plugin-container $winpid 
dumper plugin-container $winpid
ls -gGho *.core

output:

     5884       0       0       5884  ?          0 23:50:02 C:\Program Files
(x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe
dumper plugin-container 5884
-rw-r--r--+ 1 120M Feb 13 23:51 plugin-container.core
