I suggest you give Chrome or IE9 a shot then. You would instantly feel the snappiness. At that much memory, it's sluggish, it uses more memory than Photoshop. I am running 4GB RAM on a AMD X4 630 OC 3.5GHz, not a beast after a year, but ain't no weaksauce neither.
Furthermore, I know Firefox has always been a memory hog compared to other browsers, but to be using up 512MB of RAM is just inexcusable, version 3.6 used nowhere near as much. At this rate, Opera would be even a better browser, and no one uses that.
