Most recent Firefox update is screwed up. I am getting >26 instances that locks up mouse etc. I have to shut down with task Manager to recover and the cycle starts all over. It really sucks. Just started with latest update. 130.0.1 64 bit

Used FF for many years. At end of rope. Robert

You can turn fission off by setting it to false on the about:config page. see screenshot Here is more info. https://www.ghacks.net/2016/02/15/change-how-many-processes-multi-process-firefox-uses/
