I'm pretty sure there was some fuck-up with the excessive storage of server-side (X server) images that has since been fixed. You've got to realize, a huge pile of poo like firefox + the X server + the modern web needs some proper diapers. Or, more accurately, something resembling a bug-report. That would probably include: - firefox snapshot used - x driver used (and probably x snapshot) - reproducible starting with empty profile - what sites were open at the time. without that, it's mostly worthless. There are enough complex pieces in there that you will always always chase a rabbit. Heck, you can grab proper equipment, or keep wadling around with a peashooter. And now, you're talking about "old equipment". Well, guess what ? Other OSes don't care about old equipment. I'm not even sure a recent linux distro will run on 1GB of ram, not comfortably anyways.
