More than one process is normal for the current Firefox. http://www.ghacks.net/2016/07/22/multi-process-firefox/ Multi-process Firefox is codenamed "e10s". https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/multiprocess Try to disable multi-process tabs in Firefox. You can disable multi-process tabs in Firefox by setting the related prefs to false on the about:config page. browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar.

After start windows it seems to go faster without extra autostarts. I hope that this has no disadvantages.

In addition to FredMcD's advice - would you please read this article (and skip the Refresh part as you've already tried that)  :

It is possible that your firewall or other security software blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox application. Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
