While this certainly sounds possible, the only thing I would be
concerned about is Client Memory. 128MB should be more than enough, and
even 64MB would avoid problems, but Firefox is very memory-intensive as
opposed to CPU-intensive, and if you're using older clients without much
RAM they could potentially bottleneck.
