Running 32-bit firefox is the only viable way to use my mini laptop that has only 2gb of ram :(
2gb ram with a window manager is enough for 4-5 tabs, however if it has a single core 32 bit cpu the modern internet is borderline unusable already. The memory capacity is a non issue in that case.
It's a 64-bit cpu. From personal experience, using 32 bit firefox, I can run a bit more tabs. It's enough for my use case, which is editing text documents and doing a bit of online research while in bed. I use it as an auxiliary device and sync my files using syncthing.
