Many binary only plugins are not available for linux/ppc. The mplayer
plugin plays many formats (package mozilla-mplayer), and there are
flash plugins (libflash-mozplugin, swf-player). Opening many tabs
with flash will be really slow, though.

On my machine, enabling no resolutions at all in the configuration
(using dpkg-reconfigure) selects the maximum resolution available.
Try this with 24bpp. Note: when asking for help, please provide more
detailed information (in this case, at least the machine type and the
X version).
