OOM is an out-of-memory condition, earlyoom is something that's
supposed to jump in and manage the memory use (somehow) before you
run
out of free memory.
I'm not surprised at Firefox being a problem. It's a behemoth of a
program, all feature-full web browsers are, and there's a lot of bad
websites (intentional or not).
Just the other day I spent over an hour pruning all the tabs I'd left
open of things I had/hadn't finished researching over the last year.
There was a lot of, close tab I've read that, close the tab because
the
site has vanished (always download anything you consider vital), and
bookmark it for later and close the tab.
You might consider the Tab Session Manager extension. It periodically
(or on demand) saves your current tabs and windows and can restore them
again on startup, but optionally not actually load each page until you
decide to visit it.
