Before my desktop system crashed, Task Manager showed that there were 73 copies/instances of Firefox running. Previously Firefox would lock my system after 11 copies had been created---without my knowing it. Right now after restarting my system, there 64 copies of Firefox even though I haven't done any browsing. What can I do to stop Firefox from overwhelming my system?
