It's possible it is reporting usable RAM at 3.5GB as you may not have
many components in your system occupying address space. I'm not saying
Speccy is wrong, but in most cases a 32-bit system with 4GB of RAM
will have 3.1GB usable. With a 64-bit system, usable RAM on a 4GB
system would be nearly the full 4GB.

On my lowly Latitude E6500 (released in 2008!) with 4GB RAM:

Physical Memory
Memory Usage65 %
Total Physical  3.93 GB
Available Physical  1.36 GB
Total Virtual   7.85 GB
Available Virtual   4.82 GB

As you can see, I'm seeing 3.93GB of the 4096 that 4GB of RAM totals.

I don't know how new your system is presently, but you ought to be
able to buy a used Optiplex 960, 980 or 7010 for cheap on eBay with a
64-bit version of Win 7. I think you might even be able to grab a
64-bit Win 10 install CD from Microsoft and use your 32-bit key. Might
want to research that option a bit more.

Since you're on a 32-bit system and some others have explained it's
memory limits, you might be experiencing memory pressure issues.
Meaning, you're hitting a memory ceiling and the system is starved for
resources with your tabs open. These web sites might have intensive
images and other resource gobbling code. If you have anything else
running on your system while Firefox is running, it too will eat up
memory only making the problem worse. Not much you can do.

You have a 4GB system with a 2GB video card. That 4GB of system RAM
works out to be about 3.1GB usable to the *whole* system. It's a
32-bit OS limitation.  That 2GB video card eats up 2GB of RAM
automatically for address space leaving you with 1.1GB of free RAM. If
anything else is using memory, you're going to run out of free RAM
quickly. Thus, experience CPU churn and hard disk swapping virtual
RAM.

The Seamonkey build and update system has been busted for quite some
time now on Mozilla.org. However...

Please try with 2.43 from here as it's being built by a Mozilla person
on a loaner machine until they fix things properly at Mozilla.:
https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-release-windows32/



Also read https://blog.mozilla.org/meeting-notes/archives/2340.

"Adrian Kalla is still producing his localized builds. Ratty suggests
that we should put out a notice on the default SM start page to tell
people where they can download the latest 2.4x release builds
(Mozilla-release is currently at Firefox 45 which corresponds to
SeaMonkey 2.42)."

What version of Seamonkey? 32 or 64-bit? What version of Flash? What
video card and driver version? What OS? OS is 32 or 64 bit? Need more
info.
