Hi,

without troubleshooting, what makes you think that the browsers are the
culprits?

Do we know how much RAM is available?

I don't think just about how much RAM is displayed by e.g.

  $ sudo hwinfo --memory

and/or

  $ free

etc., but what actually does running   Memtest 86+   for several passes
display?

Is there any output when running Firefox, Chromium, Qupzilla and Midori
from command line and/or in   ~/.xsession-errors  ?

There are tons of other possible culprits as well! E.g. is the HDD or
SSD intact?

Not the best guides, but starting points:
