With low resources I would choose Google Chrome.

just for others to know don’t let this thread turn into a firefox vs. chrome arena!
To answer your question first i would try google chrome then try firefox
I would use Firefox. Although Chrome might feel faster on some computers, it may be slower on others (especially on slower hardware). Since Chrome runs each tab as a separate process, if one tab crashes the rest won’t. But the downside of this is additional RAM use.
Of course, if you like to use a lot of extensions and add-ons, Firefox may end up using far more RAM than it does without them.
I’m using a netbook with those specs currently.
I find that Chrome runs alot smoother and faster than the others (yes even when I have 10+ tabs running), however it seems to have problems with javascript on some sites so I keep FireFox as a backup.
