Maybe try stopping nscd (Name Service Cache Daemon) in services, you don't need it if you don't run your own DNS. Mozilla runs fine for me here.
Nscd doesn't have much to do with DNS; it caches passwd, group, hosts, etc.
The reason I mentioned it, was the OP said the first error message was "VM killed nscd" as his machine was running out of memory. I always turn that nscd off on my dialup machine. So what does it actually do for you.? A few releases back, the only option to turn it off was to actually remove the startup script. I'm slightly paranoid about services which startup automatically, and don't seem to serve any useful purpose. (or things still run fine without them). So does nscd make things run faster, or does it just take up ram? The NOTES section in man nscd does indicate that the nscd daemon does have an inter-relationship with DNS, which may even have contributed to his problem. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
