Firefox is using much memory and using swap memory:
I have 8GB memory DDR3L 1600MHz
Memory: 93% 7.2GiB
Swap: 31% 2.7GiB
So, how many windows and tabs do you have open?
And, "conspicuous by its absence", in your message, is the version
number of Firefox, that you are running.
Also, how much of your RAM, is being used by Firefox?
Is the 8GB of RAM, sufficient to run the Linux kernel version that you
are running?
I (sometimes) use the rule of no more than 1 Firefox window per GB of RAM.
What ad-blocking and privacy plugins are you using?
Installing and running uBlock Origins and Bluhell Firewall, as a
minimum, would be practical.
You do not state what CPU you are using, or, what is the maximum RAM
that your motherboard will support.
With only 8GB of RAM, you should probably be running lynx as a web
browser, or, maybe, if you need graphics, Epiphany, instead of Firefox.
To run Firefox, I recommend, as an absolute minimum, 16GB RAM, and
running no more than about 12 windows of Firefox.
If your motherboard can support more RAM, then you should increase your
RAM to the maximum capacity supported by your motherboard.
Those are simply my opinions.
Oh, and, a dedicated Firefox mailing list exists, as has, I believe,
been previously mentioned on this mailing list.
