firefox loads 9 instances of itself when started
My computer began running very sluggishly in the last 24 hours. I went to task manager in Windows ten. It shows 9 firefox programs loaded in there and running. I tried shutting them down to get to one but was unsuccessful. What could be causing that?

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
Try to disable multi-process tabs in Firefox.
You can disable multi-process tabs in Firefox by setting
the related prefs to false on the about:config page.
browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false
Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar.

That helped by cutting the number from 10 to 4. Thank you.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
