It's memory.
You can mitigate it somewhat with a fast Class6 SDHC card in the internal slot and enabling swap, but because MicroB never seems to release allocated memory you'll have to close it down occasionally to force it to.
A: Done all that. However my N800 should not shutdown from the homepage ITT.
Also, because you can't selectively enable/disable Flash, it is also worth getting the adblocker extension - It adds more bloat, but helps kill all those flash-using adbanners which helps a bit.

No, you won't have to. It'll close itself when it runs out of swap and starts stepping on itself. A carefully ported feature from the desktop version of Firefox, you know.
The N800 and N810 only have 128MB RAM, and MicroB takes up half of that.
If you load a site with a heavy Flash file, or lots of pictures it just bloats up, and worse it won't release that memory until you close it
