and now, and you'll see why a 512M Zero 2 doesn't stand a chance.

 
The Executable still fits easily in 512MB RAM, for some reason it
tries to allocate lots more RAM after starting and displaying the
browser window (which seems to work fine for a few seconds before
it stalls).

Upgraded from Firefox 140 to 141 on the Pi Zero 2 and it's working
much better. Loads old-fashioned sites fine (though very slowly)
and some modern ones if their Javascript is blocked. With JS or
just big webpages it often gets stuck though.

Weirdly the User-Agent header it sends out says x86_64 though it
says AARCH64 within the browser. Seems it's unwise to be honest
about using ARM when talking to some web servers:
