I was wondering why there's so many processes of Firefox that are displayed as running in Task Manager.

Initially it was about 7-8 and even that was something that drew my attention and concern to it but now there's 22. It's very frustrating and any feedback towards resolving this issue would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much, you're beautiful.

More than one process is normal for the current Firefox. http://www.ghacks.net/2016/07/22/multi-process-firefox/

Multi-process Firefox is codenamed "e10s". https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/multiprocess
