Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
thanks for the quick reply.
but no the problem remains. i have now noticed however if i go into task manager when i have a single internet page open, firefox has from between 3 and 9 tasks occurring at once. after ending the processes and reopening a new internet page, multiple occurrences happen again, all using resources - does that indicate anything perhaps?
More than one process is normal for the current Firefox. http://www.ghacks.net/2016/07/22/multi-process-firefox/
