FF runs fine on my 4gb netbook, I think you might have other bottlenecks on your system

do your laptop has HDD by any chance? if so, changing HDD to SSD would give your laptop a new life.

It’s a fairly low cost upgrade as well, so I highly recommend it.

Firefox runs better than chrome browser in my very old laptop with 3GB RAM. In fact this was the reason I used only Firefox on my old laptop.

Browser ram usage will just about always max out the available ram. It’s by design. It’s keeping open as much as it can for a faster user experience. As you run other programs, the browser should be giving up ram (blanking more tabs) to give it to the programs demanding it.
