Firefox on PC running Windows 7 - Firefox Starting up

Firefox 發生錯誤、效能不彰

I am running Firefox in Windows 7 on a PC. When I start up Firefox, in WINDOWS Task Manager there appear between 20 and 30 instances of firefox.exe of different sizes in the Processes Window. I can End Process on most of them without shutting down Firefox or any of the other instances of firefox.exe. However if I shut down one listed with about 200,000K of Memory (Private Working Set), then Firefox shuts down and all other instances of Firefox disappear. If I open an new tab in Firefox, more instances of firefox.exe appear.

I have never seen this behavior before. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but the same behavior occurred. Is this normal behavior, or should I be concerned?

I have enclosed screen shots from the Task Manager. I also have a Dump File of a couple of the firefox.exe instances, including the large one, if that would be helpful.

Thank you.

Google zombie processes - seems its a known issue for years and firefox doesn't have anything to do with it, looks like an operating system error some sort. Just giving a reply, never seen it myself but off hand sounds like it eventually clears itself.
