I wouldn't have expected recent versions of firefox, let alone GNOME, to run on a system with only 512MB of ram and 1.5G of disk space (I assumed you did this on a system with specs similar to Irv's as you failed to provide any).
That's a joke, right? I run the latest firefox plus a number of other programs on this
Sadly, no.

512meg 1.5gig laptop all the time without any problem. I also have several laptops with 128 megs and 8-900 mhz processors which work quite well.
I'm quite curious as to how you accomplished this. On my 512mb desktop (granted, 120GB disk space) firefox runs very slowly as it gradually eats up memory. (It seems absurd that a mere web browser would demand 550mb of ram to run...)
