this is annoying on a daily basis. if i have 5 tabs open and close 4 of them the process stays open and uses mass amounts of cpu. firefox is not shutting off it's own processes - why are processes running when i only have 1 tab open and have closed the other 4. going to a diff browser soon as this is continually happeneing. tried the fixes suggested - nothing works.

Extensions can put them in and use about give or take 20megs each. You have 4 as that is the default being used for the amount of cpu cores. Should know what your using and why, info is easy to find : https://www.howtogeek.com/332449/whats-new-in-firefox-quantum/

Please : go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check (put a tick in the box) the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.

Monitor in Task Manager. Should stay below 2 gigs. If excessive then do below and monitor and change if need to...Test and go up again , go back down, it will eventually get a zone you and it can live with.

Go to the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.

Note : Hardware Acceleration is for Video Card, Monitor to see if remain off or to turn back on.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
