If you're still running Debian 12.5 - you can check by listing the contents of /etc/debian_version
which should read 12.8 - update Debian to the current version.
Don't leave Firefox running for days with tabs open - close it periodically?
Swap 10% used seems very high. You're running the firefox-esr version supplied in Debian stable?
All the very best, as ever,
