AVG scans regularly in background. Lately it has been showing a popup window that says multiple applications of Firefox are running and using too much memory so I should close some. But, I only can see 1. Tried CTRL ALT DEL to see if I could find answer, but only showed 1 firefox, and it was using over 28,000. So I think AVG is correct, but can't find out how to see what or where they are. They DO NOT show on the lower menu of the main screen, so I assume they are in the background. Don't have viruses, and Firefox regularly updates itself. What should I do to fix?

Hi cmich80220- It's true you should only be able to run one instance of Firefox at a time. I searched but was unable to find anyone else with a similar issue. If the problem gets back to Firefox running slowly, you might check out this article for troubleshooting:

[Firefox is slow]]

Hope that helps.
