As of right now, I'm running the latest version of Firefox. I've noticed that it takes up to 17 processes on my computer. There by slowing both my computer and firefox to the point it's unusable. I know extensions can take up some processes, however I'm only using 3 extensions. So, it shouldn't be using so much. What is being done about this? I like what firefox has to offer, but if these aren't fixed then I'll have to start using another browser. And, getting everyone I know to get off of it, as it's being just like bloatware on my pc.
