I have Win 7 Pro running on my PC. FF is my default Browser. I open FF and have a few Tabs open( I don't know if this is important for my Question, but what the hay).

I have opened up the Windows Task Manager and in the 'Process' Tab, two instances of 'firefox.exe *32' are shown. Task Manager does not give much information as the who/what has a second Browser open.

Any ideas folks?

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

OOps!

This explains why when some Scripts, or whatever, that used to freeze my Browser now offer a Drop Down to stop the problem.
