    Your jpg is too small to be readable.

    I tried resizing in paint but says file is too big at 200 and 175 is still small.

    We still can't read it...

    It is normal to have multiple Firefox processes showing when you have a number of tabs or windows opened. Are you running the latest release version 63.0.1?

    Yes that is what is running. When I open the browser, I get not responding still.

    You still haven't posted which version you are using. Are you having problems with other browsers also?

    Try a different browser and report back.

    Go to the menu up top or press Alt to bring the menu up. Select Help -> Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Press Restart then Start in Safe Mode

    If everything runs OK then it's likely you have a bad add-on.

    Works fine with add- ons disabled and in safe mode. Pls advise

    I have 0 add-ons, 3 default themes, 0 extensions, and 3 plugin's. I reinstalled firefox 2x over the past week in an attempt to fix.

    When you reinstalled Firefox, did you refresh the profile?
    What are the 3 plugins you have? H.264 video codec, Widevine Content Decryption Module and ..?

    Was there a period of usage once you refreshed the profile where Firefox was working OK? If so, it's possible that something is corrupting your FF profile.

    Use snipping tool.

    @ Nullptr: It seemed ok after refreshing for about a day or so, then start again.
    @Wile: I tried snipping but was not able to get the right size that was readable to post. Suggestions?

    Open snipping tool.Then click on new the arrow pointing down.Select Windows snip.Make sure the window is open at the same time as you try to snip it.

    Should look like this...

    Any chance that you are using CCleaner to clean Firefox? Some of the recent releases could possibly corrupt FF profile.

    From the latest CCleaner release notes:
    v5.49.6856 (12 Nov 2018)
    • Fixed Firefox cleaning rules which were causing corrupted profiles for some users

    Hi Wile, what do you want me to snip and post? CPU processes?
    HI Null, I do have cc cleaner but I haven't ran it in awhile. I have V5.14.5493

    Your screenshots are too small to be of any value.
    Which version of Windows are you using?

    Yeah, I don't know why they are so small. Win 7.

    Use the Full Image option in the MG's Uploader but try to 'squeeze' out the white space in your images by a tighter crop first.

    How do I resize it, so you can see it?
    Where do I find that?

    I use the middle button above, from the Reply box at the foot of the page.

    Your latest images look much better but the text is still hazy, don't resize, just crop it and it will be sharp and easier to read. If your crop is too large, split it into two.

    Steam has that many processes.This is normal for steam.

    Firefox has what is called multiple processes running.This is normal.

    Seems to be normal.What's your question again???


    NVDisplay container can be disabled through services.

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration.In firefox options.

    Select tool's.

    Then select options.

    Then select advance.

    un-check this Use hardware acceleration when available (Browser Restart Required).

    Since IE works and FF gets not responding a lot (it does for me too that's why I switched browsers), I'd suggest you try a browser different from IE and FF.

    Other choices of browsers are: chrome, Vivaldi, Palemoon (based on FF with old addon system) or WaterFox (also based on FF with old addon system).
