Problem with: Firefox ver. 56.0.1 (64-bit) with Windows 8.1 Pro:

When it starts, it opens THREE Tasks in Task Manager.

Any which way it gets closed, it closes ONE task, leaving TWO open tasks in Task Manager.

By comparison, Google Chrome opens FIVE Tasks, and closes FIVE Tasks.

Now, all types of ERROR Messages POP-UP with FF, which did NOT happen before the 2 recent upgrades.

OK. A bit of a problem getting the 3rd upgrade in one week to take effect.

Anyway, now running with FF ver. 56.0.2 (64-bit).

When FF starts, it opens THREE Tasks in Task Manager.

When FF Exits, it closes THREE Tasks in Task Manager.

Now, there are NO ERROR Messages that POP-UP.

Problem solved,

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

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Flash Player Version: Version 27.0.0.170

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans current system and browser Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only> +++++++++++++++++++ See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit
