2gb is so little.
I only open one App at a time if the Apps are big, EG firefox, I open it alone, and check system task manager and see 1GB free while Firefox is running, but it randomly closes itself after some hours.

You've mentioned you're running 2GB of ram, and with only Firefox open, you have 1GB free/available memory.
There's no way FF alone (on a single tab) will consume 1GB of ram. I've got FF running now with literally 80+ tabs (nothing resource hungry) and looking at my Task Manager, It's consuming 478MB +/- 50MB. There's something else chewing your memory- Infected/virus, memory leak etc.

The system is consuming the other, and I am suspecting telementary data sending spikes are the cause of random shutdown expecially when on internet.

I've noticed that if I leave FF on for a couple days with like 20 tabs (never re-booting), it gets SUPER glitchy, but then if I restart my computer (and re-open the same tabs), it works smooth as ever.
Don't ask me why. The only plausible thing I can think of is that there are bugs in the Firefox browser that slowly leak memory.
Spoiler:
I have 4GB of RAM.

I definitely agree with this.
As mentioned, I've got over 80 tabs open and when left (even on Idle) for prolonged periods, It consumes memory and struggles to load even the simplest of web pages. A reboot certainly fixes the problem, but I also find that shutting down FF for around 5 minutes and executing again Is almost back to normality. My startup setting In FF Is always on "Show my Windows and tabs from last time".

That is interesting to hear it occurs for others. It must be because of memory leaking.

Yes, probably something to that effect.
I've noticed It because my systems are on 24/7 and the memory consumption Increases as the days move forward. At It's worst, FF almost comes to a halt, thereby I need to kill It via Task Manager.

On my main PC It runs fine, but I do have a bit of overkill build. (besides gfx card)

Windoze is only good for it's programs and most run perfectly on a VM of 7, If I built a gaming rig I would have Winderp 10 but it would be just games and nothing else.
