Firefox opening too many instances

Hi all, Firefox has been using quite a bit of RAM lately.

Ok, I had like a dozen tabs open, but I think this might be a little too many Firefox instances (see screenshot; minimize memory usage just run).

I have already tried disablig tab autostart and decreasing the value of processes in about:config but nothing ever changes.

I hope someone will be able to help me out. Thanks :)

Alright, I've taken some time to see how the Fission fix did and it seems to be working fine. Still, I haven't figured out how the Firefox instances really work but at least now they are under control.

Thanks for your help :)
