Fujitsu ESPRIMO Q520 when opening some sh*tty web sitesin firefox the

I have a similar problem with some of my older laptops. I have switched
to Vivaldi (based on chromium), and that has reduced the problem
considerably. Firefox is a resource hog.
I also have Vivaldi running, with a few windows, in addition to
firefox, to investigate Vivaldi as an alternative browser.
Vivaldi appears to not have a support mailing list, and, Vivaldi
appears to not have much provision for customisation.
I also find Vivaldi to be quite slow, in comparison to firefox.
Try falkon instead.
It's in the repositories.
It doesn't have the same number of bells and whistles, but that's the
cludge that weighs things down.
Quite quick.
Cheers!

I had a really nasty experience with falkon (from memory, falkon was
something else before, and it got renamed to falkon - what it was
before, I can't remember).
After a shutdown, or a crash of the application (it was the incarnation
named falkon), when I next reloaded it, it reloaded the previous session
of 23 windows, and kept reloading the session, opening hundreds of
windows, so I had to use kill -9 to stop it, or, a power off of the
computer.
I would never load it, or install it, intentionally, again, as I regard
it as too dangerous.
