You might try Camino.  It is much swifter than Firefox on a Mac.  It 
seems to work much better for me than Firefox 1.5 on my PowerMac G5 
w/OSX 10.4.4 and 2 gig of memory  (maybe that's why it performs so much 
better).

If you can, I advise you to upgrade to Tiger.  You will be pleasantly 
surprised with the performance of your machine.

By the way, Camino uses the same engine (Gecko) that Firefox uses, and 
was developed EXPRESSLY for the OS X platform, unlike Firefox, which was 
developed as a cross-platform app.
