Eight tabs open, but 40 instances running

My computer was slowing down so I opened task manager.

I discovered that Firefox had 40 different things running and was using over a gigabyte of memory. I could not identify what the various things Firefox was running. Or what tab they related to.
It would be useful if Firefox could indicate in tax manager, what is going on and permit me to end task individually rather than shutting down the entire browser.

Meantime, what can I do to keep this from going on?

I have already shut down Firefox several times as well as restarted my computer to no avail.

Also cleared the cache and cookies
