Do you get a crash or hang ?
Which JRE Do you use ?
Have you correctly symlinked the Java plugin or copied ?

I get a crash. Everything related to Mozilla (Mail, Browser, Composer, etc) that
is running disappears/shuts down instantly when I go to the above URL.

I don't know how to tell what JRE I'm running. If I'm running it, it'd be the
one SuSE 8.0 installs.

My about:plugins shows Java(TM) Plug-in 1.3.1_02-b02

Bug resolved. I've upgraded to 1.1a and also believe the problem was caused
because I copied my JRE from ../moz1.0rc1/plugins over to ../moz1.0/plugins and
maybe I didn't copy some hidden file or something. Installing JRE normally into
1.1a seems to allow this page to load fine.

You MUST symlink the plugin.
on windows you can copy the plugin and the plugin finds the JVM with the windows
registry.
