Is there an easy way in firefox of finding out whether an which tabs
are doing things like this?

I find getting 16GB helps.  But it shouldn't be necessary,

Run top to see if cpu or ram are maxxed out.

Do you have many tabs open? They can suck up ram.
Are pages running a lot of javascript? That can suck up cpu. (Anecdotal: a 
friend fixed an overheating problem by installing noscript.)


My computer starts to get like that when I get to around 1.5 - 1.6GB used 
out of 2GB total. If I go past 1.7 I'm screwed.

Firefox ESR is freezing XFCE on ASCII. Getting to Ctrl+Alt+F1 takes
many seconds and logging in a terminal also takes very long. I am
reluctantly posting this from within Chromium.
