If you have too many tabs open on some badly behaved websites firefox will eat all of your ram.
weather.com is a good one, leave it setting for a few days open and that tab will use up the ram. It seems ok on my bigger machines (32gb) but is a real issue on the machine with 10gb.
My 10gb ram machine was civilized by the earlyoom process that kills the process running the badly behaving tabs and using too much ram.

What on earth are you doing in Firefox and Thunderbird to use that swap? I have multiple 8GB machines running the same Fedora, Firefox and Thunderbird, and virtually never get into swap at all. Two the these machines are also Lenovo. This makes no sense, so there must be something else hogging all that memory. Do a top and sort by RSS and see what the real problem app is.

The specs for my Lenovo x140e is 8GB, which I have and it seems to be not enough.

Firefox seems to be a bit part of the problem. I quit it and see:
$ free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7380668 5146100 1776840 1364 457728 1948864 Swap: 24157176 5270956 18886220
I am running a VM at 2Gb and a couple of Thunderbird sessions. Closing these TB and waiting a while I drop down to
$ free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7380668 3751784 1148396 16228 2480488 3272716 Swap: 24157176 2422956 21734220
but really the bottom line is I need more memory for the tasks at hand. Firefox has all these weird processes running eating up lots of memory and swapping like crazy. Probably bad for my SSD drive.
So how to get to 16GB memory?
What follows the x140e in the 12" format? I can't figure this out from basic Lenovo sales stuff. Probably going to have to find a Lenovo forum to get the info.
But CompuRAM in UK says they can support up to 32GB on the x140e using "newer SO-DIMM chips". Crucial only sells 4GB for the x140e.
Anyone have any knowledge on this? Other than booting and getting into settings, how do I figure out my bios version? And to see if Lenovo has a newer one that probably CompuRAM is counting on?
Any US memory sources that will support more memory for the x140e? I really don't want to deal with overseas shipping and support.
And back to the "newer" hardware question on 140 followon.
thanks for any input. All this swapping is taking time when I really have to wait for the system to bring in what is needed and things to start working.
