Perhaps installing the NoScript Add-On would help?  Many sites will
work entirely without scripts, and turning just local scripts on on
other sites (ie. not the ones provided by advertisers) will make the
site function without undue burden on your Cubox.  NoScript can be a
PITA, but I think you'd find it worthwhile given the limitations of
the computer.
