Likely this is because your computer's CPU has multiple cores, or
at the least some degree of it such as hyperthreading. These days,
probably both.

So top is probably telling you that firefox and chrome are using
80% of one core and 70% of another core.

Run the command:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

it likely reports many CPUs. Top's percentages will be in terms of
a single one of those.

On this topic, a browser will normally _not_ be using this much
CPU. The usual culprit is a plugin, typically Adobe Flash.
