How can improve the performance of my computer?
I have problems when I have a lot of tabs opened in my browser, i am

the libreoffice or playing on Steam. The system blew up.
My browser: Firefox Browser 115.4.0esr (64 bit)
My system: Linux 5.10.0-26-amd64 1 SMP Debian 5.10.197-1 (2023-09-29)
x86_64 GNU/Linux
My browser consumes 655MB of memory and uses 34% of the CPU.
The system uses 30% CPU, 265 Process, 50% memory and swap 9%.
I haven't partitioned my hard disk.
I have Toshiba L200 Laptop PC Hard drive 1 TB, 5400 rpm, 128 MB/8MB

Please run the following command and reply with the console session
(prompt, command entered, output displayed):
# cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a

While that does appear to be console output for the command I suggested,
your post is incomplete -- you did not post the prompt and the command.
This is an example of what I was requesting:
2023-10-30 15:43:45 root@taz ~
# cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a
11.8
Linux taz 5.10.0-26-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.197-1 (2023-09-29) x86_64
GNU/Linux
Note that I have set the environment variable "PS1" in the shell
start-up file ".profile" so that the shell prompt provides useful
information -- date, time, username, hostname, and current working
directory:
2023-10-30 15:44:35 root@taz ~
# grep PS1 .profile
export PS1='\n\D{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S} ${USER}@\h \w\n\$ '
Providing good context in your posts will make your posts more useful.
What is the make and model of the computer?
If you answer this question, we can explore options such as upgrading
the processor, memory, storage, graphics card, etc..
What processor does it have?

Again, posting the prompt and command would help us understand the output.
Looking up the specifications on the Intel web site:
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/75460/intel-core-i74500u-processor-4m-cache-up-to-3-00-ghz.html
That is a 10-year old ultra-low power laptop processor. It should be
adequate for light to moderate desktop use, but heavy web sites, heavy
office documents, and especially games are going to crush it.
What memory modules are installed?
If you answer this question, we can explore options such as upgrading
the memory modules.
STFW "Toshiba L200" I see:
https://www.toshiba-storage.com/products/toshiba-internal-hard-drives-l200/
Replacing a HDD with an SSD would improve responsiveness when booting,
starting applications, opening and saving files, backing up, imaging, etc..
