I literally destroyed my first laptop last week in a fit of rage because of 100% disk usage issues. Now I'm on my second laptop and I'm experiencing similar problems. I've noticed that there are multiple Firefox processes running at the same time, at least six. What is wrong, and how do I fix this?

I have 7 instances of Firefox running, I think it's something to do with multi threading, I wouldn't worry, it's normal. Try not to break your second laptop lol.
