Your OS and your ram are outdated for todays internet.You'll need to update your ram to 640mb,the max and update your OS to 10.4.11,the highest you can go on this particular machine.OS 10.2.4 is obsolete now,thats why you have been getting all those warning messages and 256 mb of ram is just not enough for any of OSX's let alone adding flash to the mix.Updated you can still run a fairly modern browser,Safari 4,Camino 2 or Firefox.But beware today's flash sometimes can be a strain on a G3 processor,so don't expect it to be blazing fast!
 
I second the recommendation to upgrade the RAM and to upgrade the OS to 10.4.11. You'll have a much better experience. The only other issue you might encounter is the lack of application support on 10.4.x since most developers have been moving to supporting 10.5 at the least, and that might also change once Lion's released. Still, there are enough developers supporting 10.4.11. You might want to look at TenFourFox as a solution for Firefox 4 on Tiger. They also have binaries optimized specifically for your CPU.
