Says I Have 7 Tabs Open When I Only Have One...

I am currently using Windows 10 & when I click on task manager it shows Brave Browser (12) when I only have 4 tabs open. I have also had a lot of other weird things happening, such as... when I go into my yahoo email account & see who is logged in it shows Chrome, Windows, even when I'm not using chrome. Sometimes it shows two sessions, and other times just one. I think someone is somehow getting into my computer somehow. I have used multiple programs to try to get rid of this problem & it continues to happen. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

 

Well, I have two separate Firefox profiles running with one and five open tabs respectively - and Task Manager shows two Firefox processes: Firefox (10) and Firefox (14). Nothing unusual there - plugin's and extensions run in their own processes within the browser. As well, there really are just two main browsers today: Firefox -- and most everybody else all under Chrome/Chromium - yes even the new Microsoft Edge is Chromium based.

You can (and should) do an antimalware scan periodically. Windows Defender is a built-in option. Or you can download and run Malwarebytes, etc. - many other options.

 

Firefox nightly will use 10 it's a normal process.'
