My firefox is lunching 120 000 K with two tabs and one flash (at facebook)
The PC keeps freezing and it is really annoing

Other than the lack of ram for other things, there is nothing you can do about Failbook and the amount of ram it is using; short of not using it at the moment. The problem is all Failbook, a bunch of their apps and junk (can you tell I don't like the site, that and never use it personally) is what is causing the ram usage.

My wife is on there daily and has been complaining about it being slow for a while now. Earlier this week I decided to look into it. The computer has 4 GB of ram on it and when she is on Failbook the ram usage for Firefox (and in IE8 for that matter) will shot from around 40-50 MB to almost 500 MB in a matter of seconds; and bringing the entire computer to a crawl until Failbook is closed. Once it is closed (just the tab is enough) the ram usage returns to normal.

So until Failbook updates whatever it is that they have messd up this time (and they do it all the time), even adding more ram isn't going to help.

P.S. It isn't just a problem in Windows either, have a read here,

High CPU usage/Performance issues | Facebook

and you will see people posting about it using Windows, OSX and several falvors of Linux all reporting the same thing.

@stormy13 : No reason from my side to disagree your all points. But I think 0000rkut have the same prob-though I dont use neither site.

and memory now a days are CHEAP as hell :O!

Not from My experience...4Gig of Kingston1066 costs around £90 at the moment but that has jumped up from around £50 a couple of months ago

Tell me about it! I've just paid £70 for it, when it was £43 when I first saw it on eBuyer

1 GB would be better, but if it's an older computer, you need to see what in it now and see if there are slots available.

It's About 3 years old PC , but it has 3 more slots (+ this with 512)

have you turned aero off?also if you go control panel-performance information and tools-adjust visual effects-and click adjust for best performance.also when i was on a machine with not too much ram i always found opera to be the better browser,and avira the lighter of the free anti virus.:)

Where exactly i can find these settings? (aero + graph)

right click desktop-personalize-and then use windows 7 basic theme.also go to control panel-performance information and tools-adjust visual effects-and then choose adjust for best performance,hope it helps a little.:)
