I see task manager listed about six times in Task Manager.

But Firefox is not supposed to be running at all.

I could understand a sort of monitor app running all the time but there's about seven of these processes, not one.

I can't count them exactly because task manager keeps refreshing and I don't know how to stop it with the display where it is?

Anyway the main thing, apart from just why all these, is that one of them is using 1.2G of memory and that may account for why I get dreadful slow computing at times and why I've taken to using Chrome as of this morning.

Which is why Firefox just isn't even supposed to be running.

Any help on this?

Are you sure Firefox was shut down, not minimized to the taskbar?

More than one process is normal for the current Firefox. http://www.ghacks.net/2016/07/22/multi-process-firefox/

Multi-process Firefox is codenamed "e10s". https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/multiprocess


Try to disable multi-process tabs in Firefox. You can disable multi-process tabs in Firefox by setting the related prefs to false on the about:config page.

browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar.
