which JRE Do you use and have you c
orrectly symlinked the plugin instead of copied ?

Comment 2

[Paulo Vilela]

Can be closed
Problem was that the Java plugin had been copied to the mozilla plugins
directory, instead od being symbolic linked from the Java plugins directory.

Everything is Ok nows

no patch = not fixed

-> invalid

(user error)

FYI: The java plugin can't find the JVM if you copy it. The plugin calls exit()
and Mozilla crashes because it runs in the same process.
Copy works under win32 because the plugin can use the registry to find the JVM
