I have 6 Firefox tabs open but my system is slow and shows 15 Open Firefox instances
Please assist or advise why Firefox seems to be slowing down my system by memory usage. I have a handful (6) of tabs open on 1 browser session and my system started slowing down so I checked my task manager and it shows that I have more than a dozen of Firefox instances open chewing up almost 90% of my memory.
Please assist or advise me on how to tweak my browser to perform better, and not to show ghost instances
