This is becoming a very annoying issues anymore. When I have like anything over 10 tabs open FF makes windows go crazy and it locks up my entire PC.

      Likely what is happening is it uses all your RAM, which then overflows onto your super slow storage. You could potentially prolong the life of your current laptop by putting an SSD in. I don't know if other browsers will use RAM in a better way

      if its the original hard drive, then your hard drive is probably the real bottle neck. upgrade to an ssd and the computer will be usable for years.
