Is it normal for there to be 14 instances of firefox listed in device manger? If not, how do I correct?

It is quite normal to see more Firefox processes running.

  • process for the main Firefox thread (user interface)
  • one or more WebContent processes
  • process for the compositor thread
  • process for extensions
  • process for WebRender when this feature is enabled

You can find the current multi-process state on the Troubleshooting Information page (about:support).

  • "Help -> Troubleshooting Information"
    "Application Basics":<be>Multiprocess Windows and Fission Windows
    "Remote Processes" (Web Content)

You can visit the about:processes page for info about all processes. See also the about:unloads page for info about the tabs.
