Crashing Firefox and Safari on netbook?

Hi!

I have an Asus 1005HA netbook with an Atom processor and GMA950 graphics. I've installed Snow Leopard and it works great! No problems, except that Firefox crashes very often!
When I open links that are a little bit heavy (not like google ) it tends to quit immediately. This is very annoying, and same thing happens with Safari, not very often though. But when playing flash-video like Youtube and others this happens alot more in both browsers! Another thing i notices, flash video is laggy when the power-plug is unplugged, do the processor throttle down? I have no such kexts!

Please help me solve this!

That's not a solution :/ As both Safari and Firefox does this i don't think thats the problem, it must have something to do with not enough memory or something like that? I got 2gb memory

ah, even good ole Mac's suffer from this (Safari dies on my macs all the time!). It's possibly your add-ons, such as Java or flash not being up to date. Sounds from your post that it could be Flash Player- try updating it to 11!

Nice, but I don't find Flash 11, latest is 10 something.
