I was looking at the output of htop and noticed that Firefox had about 65 threads listed. I only have about 8 tabs going, so I am trying to understand why so many threads have been created and seem to persist. They don't seem to be using my a whole lot of CPU usage or memory usage (about 12%). The command listed for all of them is /usr/bin/firefox/firefox --new-window.
How can I go about beginning to understand what is going on here?
Thanks,
UPDATE 1: Currently using Firefox 53.0.3 (64 bit) on Linux

What version of FF? – user3169 – 2017-06-18T05:35:17.483
Ah, good question. I've added the version to the question. – tnibbles – 2017-06-18T13:44:12.773
Use
ps -T -p <pid>to see threads. They’re named! – Daniel B – 2017-06-18T14:52:45.443
