Maybe you're running out of memory? Take a look at taskmanager, or see if you can run more browsers on a beefier machine. I know I've personally run about 80-90 browsers simultaneously on a single desktop some time ago, but they weren't holding any large amounts of test data.
Just BTW, you'll never achieve reasonable loads with browser-based test tools. You should consider something like Grinder for generating load.
