Running only android studio works just fine but when i try to just open my firefox it becomes too much for the system and it makes the whole system slow like can't even open my terminal. I have to press and hold my power button to shutdown and reboot.

    Can you edit your question to include the output of free -m? Knowing a bit more about your system memory information will help 👍🏻

I Had the same problem. Add a dedicated swap file or partition of 2x ram.

In my case was solved by adding 16G of swap and later I bought more ram.

try...

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1MiB count=$((16*1024))
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

then add a line to /etc/fstab like this 

/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0

try it. regards.
