Of course, you can manually download Firefox from the official Website 
and use it on a older system. It will probably work for a few years 
until Firefox needs a lib which the old Version does not have.

But using the version of Firefox from Debian is much more comfortable, 
as it simply just works :)

Cant you just upgrade the RAM? My Intel Atom N550 netbook supports 2GB - 
unfortunately the maximum by this processor. As others already said,
the main problem is the Browser itself. I discovered my Firefox needs 
1,4GB for just an empty page (and some plugins like Adblock and 
NoScript) after startup. So with the rest of the system needing <= 
512MB, 2GB still works as minimum requirement.
