Assuming poorly installed Java.
Check http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html to resolve your problem.

If that doesn't work : under PREFERENCES - ADVANCED, disable Java, and your
crash will stop.

Site is using fphover.class applet which is known to crash JRE < 1.4.
See bug 156493 for the RFE to have Mozilla not crashing when a plug-in crashes
and also bug 176280.

Thanx for the quick resolution.  Going to a Java 1.4.1 plugin solved the
problem.  Ideally a defective plugin shouldn't crash the browser, but I guess
it's hard to protect against everything.
