256 MB RAM is very low. Add some if you can; RAM is really not very expensive.

My P4 XP system (with 1.5GB RAM) routinely shows Firefox running 150-200 MB of usage with 20 or so tabs (no active content like Flash running). With only 256 MB, your system is using the swap file (aka, virtual memory, in the form of hard drive file) and slowing your system down.

AVG Safe Search has recently been linked to high high CPU usage and crashes in Firefox.

NOTE: Upgrade to XP SP3; support for SP2 ending very soon.
