why does Firefox, when first started, it loads numerous examples of itself making extended inoperable load times. The same with Thunderbird?

Thanks for fast reply. A picture is worth a thousand words. It takes a lot of time to completely load. Pic is of Task Manager.

These are processes. For instance network process, gpu process, and so on.

Okay, but it takes a long time to be operational and some of my apps take forever to load and one in particular tells me it can't because of to many instances. I've used Firefox for many many years and this has never been the norm except for this last year. Way to long.

Okay, but I'm not sure if it's the reason. Try to enter about:profiles in the URL bar, create a new test profile and make it default. Try to test the startup times on that profile for a while.
