Firefox macOS V112.0 fires up many copies of itself when the "Quit" menu choice is selected. This behavior has been seen on both a M1 and M2 MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.3.1. This behavior started when the 112 update was applied.

I've deleted and then reinstalled Firefox. This did not change the behavior.

I had to stop using FF after something like 20 years:

Sending crash reports for years never helped so I quit using it when it started replicating itself in my dock. I miss FF.
