Firefox should not be relying on overcommit in the first place. The issue isn't that I "only" have 40GB of commit space - it's that Firefox keeps taking more and more to the point of crashing (itself and everything else I have running).

And yes, my page file had grown to 64GiB before, when I stupidly left it on automatic. There's a reason it's at 16MiB now - it's because completely turning it off disables memory compression. Not like that helps much due to the lack of overcommit.
