Did you have quite a lot of tabs in that Firefox? It uses multiple
processes these days, roughly number of tabs plus a few.

‘they all have PIDs’: where are they if they're not in the output of
ps(1)?
What's the output of
(
cat /proc/meminfo
ps xauww | sort -sk6,6n -k2,2n
) |
curl -sSgF 'f:1=<-' ix.io
when the machine is having problems. Ignore the NAS for now, it's got
too many unknowns. :-)
