Why aren't you using Firefox 2.0.0.11 or whatever the latest is now? Maybe
this is a bug that has been fixed?
Try increasing the size of the system swap file by a whole lot. Maybe Firefox
doesn't know how to handle the situation of running out of swap file? (Maybe
all programs don't? After all, what does a program do when the loaded data
exceeds the available "memory"? Only a few text editors know how to page
through a file and edit the current sector, and splice a new sector into the
file. They were back in the days of CP/M and maybe early DOS.)
Get a 4GB (or even larger) flash drive and use all of it for the swap file.
