Firefox doesn't close correctly. PC on Windows 10 freezes up. When I go to Task Manger, I see Firefox has replicated sometimes as many as 5-10 times or more at same time. I close down the FF tabs, try again to open FF, freezes again, re-open Task Manager, and it has replicated again. Can't seem to find cause or solution. Any suggestions? I have tried uninstalling FF then re-installing, but that doesn't work. BTW, same exact thing happens with Chrome, Duckduck, or Edge (which I despise), which tell me it's an issue with my Windows 10 computer, not with FF. TIA.

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar, especially if you have multiple windows or Private Browsing windows open to prevent losing tabs in unnoticed windows.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit

It is quite normal to see more Firefox processes running.

  • process for the main Firefox thread (user interface)
  • one or more content processes
    you see more content processes when Fission is enabled
  • process for the compositor thread
  • process for extensions
  • process for WebRender when this feature is enabled

You can find the current multi-process state on the Troubleshooting Information page (about:support).

  • "Help -> Troubleshooting Information"
    "Application Basics":
    Multiprocess Windows and Fission Windows
    "Remote Processes" (Web Content)

You can check the about:memory and about:processes pages for info about all processes. There are several toolkit.aboutProcesses prefs in about:config to show more info. See also the about:unloads page for info about the tabs.
