Multiple Firefoxes in the background, exiting the program doesn't clear them up. They persist.

Firefox is now doing the same junk that Chrome does. Running n numbers of firefox.exe in the background and leaving them running on exit. Please see my screen shot. Please advise on how to a) prevent this and b) if it is a bug in Firefox (which I think it is), please fix it.

What I did was shut down the multi-processor, hardware acceleration, and autostart. I have been testing this a few days now with all my usual add-ons and so far, so good.

Memory is back to normal. Processes are back to normal. In addition, the EXTREME lag I was getting at times has vanished as well.

This is what was required to fix the issue based on your post in another question :

If have the browser open and running or in the task bar yes they are suppose to be there it is Multi-Proccessor and using several (up to 4) cores instead of just 1 that older versions used. https://www.howtogeek.com/332449/whats-new-in-firefox-quantum/
