Hi toride, If you're looking in Windows Task Manager, that will show you the processes which Firefox needs for stable operation. See this : Multi-Process Firefox: everything you need to know

Use Firefox's Task Manager to get a better idea of what is gobbling up resources and causing it to freeze: Task Manager - see what tabs or extensions are slowing down Firefox

I have the same problem, especially when I come off a VPN. I close all active tasks, then there are always three background tasks, one of which can only be closed by rebooting the computer. This has been happening for weeks. I just literally downloaded the latest version of Firefox after a clean removal using Revo. About fed up with Firefox and it's constant problems.

I have the same problem. So is there anyway now to stop multiple Firefox's running? If there isn't I have to stop using Firefox and after many years use.

Hello All,

You can set an environment variable to disable multi-process. :
• set MOZ_FORCE_DISABLE_E10S=1
How to set environment variables : http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

You can use the set command to create a temporary environment variable.

  • open command prompt window
  • change to installation directory
  • type "set MOZ_FORCE_DISABLE_E10S=1" and press enter
  • type "firefox.exe" and press enter

How to use set command : http://www.computerhope.com/sethlp.htm


Or you could set an environment variable in the Windows Control Panel => System.
You can create a firefox-e10s.cmd file with this content:
set MOZ_FORCE_DISABLE_E10S=1 start "" "<path_to_firefox>\firefox.exe"
• (64-bit Firefox) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\" • (32-bit Firefox) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"

I had that and other issues with Firefox. I finally gave up and moved to Edge. It's not perfect, but doesn't have all the issues that Firefox had through last week.
