I'm running it on a REdHat 8.0, maybe there's a problem with the libraries or
sth? It's only a hint. I'm not a mozilla-expert, you know :-) I have the java
IBM 1.3 vesion installed

Have you symlinked the plugin or copied ?
DO you use builds from mozilla.org ?

I used the tar-files from mozilla.org. It started to go all wrong with these, so
I installed the rpm's from RedHat 8.0 and it keeps on crashing.

They aren't symbolic links. I read you have to copy the lib from java in de
plugin-dir of Mozilla.
