Your CPU so old of course it can't cope with latest version of Firefox/Chrome as they require much more resources to run.

Your hardware is ok but your browsers are heavy. My suggestion is to try other browsers, Chrome seem to have improved and is less taxing than Chromium (last I tried). If you don't need those browsers, choose from the many other light weight ones.

I'm amazed that you can tolerate it! The Pentium 4 you're using is more than 10 years old and is something like 20-30 times slower than a modern CPU.

Here's a suggestion, stop using firefox as your main browser at all. Firefox nowadays has already turned into a spyware ever since Soros got involved into funding their project. Don't ever use any google software. Google wares have been labeled as botnet for a reason. Use firefox forked browser such as palemoon or icecat. It's a lot faster and trust worthy software to use compared to those overrated browsers. If you want more lightweight browser, you could try uzbl which runs on webkit engine.

nowadays a lot of websites are secretly running crypto coin mining scripts.
if the high cpu usage is only on certain sites then probably your cpu is mining.

should use 32-bit distros e.g

(linux lite) https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.php#requirements
(fedora) https://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ -- note, get the i386 ones not x86_64, I use the xface-25 on my virtualbox (1 cpu core, 2GB ram, 20GB hd/storage)

of course there are old standbys like damnsmalllinux/dsl and puppy but I last use them many years ago, so cannot comment
