Multiple FF icons in Windows 10 hidden icon box when opened. Are these FireFox icons? Only started since 91.3esr update. Memory usage doubles in size when it happens.

Since 91.3esr update, over a period of a couple of days, if I open the Windows 10 hidden icons I will see a large number of FF icons that disappear immediately after I hover over them. Are these FireFox icons (see picture attached)? I also note that FireFox left untouched will be using 25% of my 32GB memory growing over a period of time. When first opened (I have restore previous sessions option selected), it is minimal memory usage.

I am on Win 10. But Firefox has never shown up there on any Windows version. This could be a Windows problem.

This may help, but I don't know. https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/13102-notification-area-icons-reset.html
