1.Right-mouse click on C:\fyicenter\ProcessExplorer\procexp.exe and use "Run as administrator" to start Process Explorer. You will all processes displayed in a tree structure.

2. Locate and select the Firefox process "firefox.exe".

3. Click menu "View > Show Lower Pane" to open the process details pane.

4. Click menu "View > Lower Pane View > Handles" to list resource handles only.

5. Click menu "File > Save as".

6. Locate folder and enter file name to save data to C:\fyicenter\process_explorer_handles_and_dll.txt.
