So, i open task manger to see this. https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2020-04-18-00-50-31-f526c8.png And i go on to the firefox website to find a fix for it. I find a lot of really good one, but i have a major problem. https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2020-04-18-00-51-37-701dee.png Isn't there supposed to be a second one of these? Because there isn't one there for me. And i am getting pretty tired of having this problem. I have also used methods from a couple of sources and they just keep showing up. Sources used

It is quite normal to see more Firefox processes running.

  • one process for the main Firefox thread (user interface)
  • one or more content processes, see:
    Options/Preferences -> General -> Performance
    remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
  • one process for the compositor thread
  • one process for the WebRender when this feature is enabled

You can find the current multi-process state on the Troubleshooting Information page (about:support).

  • "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" -> "Application Basics":
    Multiprocess Windows
    Remote Processes

See also the Remote Processes section further down for more detail.

You can check the Firefox Task Manager (about:performance) and about:memory pages for more detail. See the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page for buttons to access these pages.
