In Firefox's Task Manager, how do I know which tab is using which subframe(s) process?

For example, let's say I open Firefox and with only one single tab open, I open the following web page: https://audioplugin.deals/product/best-of-zampler-collection/

That page apparently includes content from several third-party websites because when I open it, Firefox's Task Manger shows processes for the following:

https://audioplugin.deals https://cloudflare.com https://google.com https://hcaptcha.com https://soundcloud.com https://stripe.com https://stripe.network https://stripecdn.com

The process for "https://audioplugin.deals" is the only process with a tab. All of the other processes are subframe(s) only, with no mention of which tab is using them.

With only one tab open, I intuitively know that all of these processes must be used by that one tab. But like most people, I browse using multiple tabs, and once you open multiple tabs, it becomes (as far as I can tell) impossible to determine which subframe(s) process is used by which tab. This makes it impossible to determine which tab is behaving improperly or erratically when there are issues (for example, when one of those subframe(s) processes is consuming an unreasonably large amount of memory or CPU cycles).
