Already read these, if anyone knows more, I'm interested in the plain English explanation.

Saw this the other day, it's about sid.

I saw the same thing today on stretch, top reported firefox-esr over 45% cpu, and a process named "Web Content" at another 45% and ram extremely low... killed firefox-esr and they both disappeared. Desktop (plasma) was totally wrecked, no response, toolbar inactive, etc.
I have javascript.enabled false in about:config, but I believe java applets do run because it is installed from libreoffice dependencies. Not sure if there is a toggle for java? I have no extensions or add-ons installed or enabled. At the time, three tabs were open, including the forum, daily bikini http://www.thedailyhomepages.com/bikini/ and my local html startpage.
I found and decreased the "content process limit" setting to 2 instead of four to test. I'd really like to know how to figure out what page I might have viewed that could cause this.
