Firefox is bogging down my old laptop because it opens 20-30 Firefoxes
Why are there 20 to 30 instances of firefox in my task manager when I have just 2 tabs open? It is bogging down my old laptop. I got directions to fix it from Mozilla Support, by turning off recommended performance settings and lowering content limit from 8 to 4 [although directions said I could do that right there, but I couldn't and had to go to config.] After a restart, I currently have just one tab, and there's 12 firefox, and it had gone up over 30 originally. I did a whole bunch of end tasks, but they keep coming back. Why can't I force it to only open 1 firefox for each tab? I don't want all that extra crap!
