I have a Windows 10 Pro system and Firefox continues to open up at least 17 processes for one internet window. This eats up system resources for nothing more than general web browsing. How can these processes be limited? Thank you.

You'll see the list in Task Manager - see whether tabs or extensions are slowing down Firefox
