The other day due to the huge amount of CPU my Firefox was using I removed the software from my computer and tried to update to the latest 5.0 version. After the new installation I noticed that instead of a plugin container, there were two instances of Firefox running in task manager. After some research I thought that the issue was malware so I took the usual precautions (got antimalware software and did a complete system check only to find nothing) and eventually ended up resetting my computer. My computer is now factory reset, but when I again downloaded Firefox this instance occurred again. The two instances seem to be linked. I cannot close out of one without Firefox shutting down. The download didn't seem to work correctly as Firefox never launched upon full download and I was forced to restart my computer to get it to work at all. This does NOT occur when I use internet explorer as it shows a plugin container working with the process.
This second instance of Firefox is eating my CPU like the plugin container used to. I DO have antimalware software as well as an antivirus and neither are detecting issues on my computer. What can I do to fix this problem? I was considering reinstalling Firefox again but since it didn't download properly either time, I was wondering if there was a link to a version other than 5.0 out there that is more functional.

The latest version of Firefox is causing problems, and reloads with my tabs. Plugin-container.exe is bloated. Can you undo what you did?

Latest version of FF 68.0 has re-enabled multiprocess and won't allow me to disable via about:config.
I've been with FF since pretty much the beginning, it's the only browser I recommend to friends, family or clients. Since 10e and the whole multiprocess roll out, I've "fixed" peoples slow and unresponsive FF experience by disabling this useless feature and H/W acceleration.
Now my mailbox is full of complaints about slow unresponsive browsing, plus it using more system resources leaving clients with less powerful machines with real problems.
C'mon Moz, we've been mates for decades, stood by you when everyone was looking at whatever MS was waiving at them, laughed at Google when they tried to play with the big boy, but now I'm feeling sheepish about my claims of Mozilla putting its users needs first, not forcing features on users, giving its users a choice enabling a freedom that you don't have with Edge or Chrome
Please give us back one of the remaining freedoms we have left, don't be MICROSOFT!

So this little loading wheel started to appear today while I'm loading pages and it stays when I change tabs with an already loaded page. So let's say I open a page in a new tab, I go back to a tab I was already on while I wait for the page on the new tab to load, but this little loading wheel would stay there when I change tabs. It's only for a few seconds, but this never happend before today and the last update was a couple days ago so it seems a little weird to me.
Thank you in advance.
slow startup with nightly 51 and e10s add-ons

Hello, when i run nightly 51 without add-ons, all works fine, the startup time is good. But when I add for instance "Fireftp", "ublock origin" and "gtranslate" (compatibles with e10s), nightly starts on a blank page, I must wait a few seconds and then about:home appears. Is it a kind of bug? Because when e10s is disabled, there is no blank page and waiting time.
Thank you :)

Can I improve the startup time when this preference is set to True? Thanks :)

Hang / freeze everything (all in browser) when trying to open and select whatever in AdBlock Plus Filter Preferences window. CPU usage on firefox process jumps at 50% permanently and becomes totally frozen / unresponsive.
I have suspected electrolysis (e10s) in Firefox as source causing the problem. But I see Multiprocess Windows 0/1 (Disabled by add-ons) and electrolysis looks to be disabled.
Could you please help me to solve that issue.

How to Disable E10s using Environment Variable MOZ_FORCE_DISABLE_E10S - 1

I need to disable E10s. It causes Firefox 68,0 (32bit) to display a Blank Page when Firefox is closed and I launch a Web Page from my Email Client. I have to have Firefox open first now before clicking on a Website url from the Email Client. This was the same problem I had two or more years ago when E10s was first implemented. I disabled it back then in about:config but Mozilla have disabled that option in Firefox 68. It's stated you can disable E10s using Environment Variable MOZ_FORCE_DISABLE_E10S - 1 but I'm not sure where to use that. I put it in my Windows 10 Environment Variables (System Properties/Environment Variables) but it did not work. I am using Windows 10 32-bit (Both Pro and Home) and the problem exists on all computers since upgrading to Firefox 68.0. I need to disable E10s again.
