reporter, 1) did you see any information in console when mozilla crashed? 2) had
you verified the plugin gets installed properly by checking "about:plugins"?

I am also having the same problem. For reference the site that does it to me is
goproblems.com. Roughly a third of the time when you hit the View Comments or
View Attempt Paths from inside a goproblem Firefox will crash and Mozilla hangs
indefinitely. 

I'm using the latest Firefox build with JRE1.5 but it happens in Mozilla Suite
with 1.5 and in Firefox with J2RE1.4.2 as well as JDK1.5 and J2SDK1.4.2 (not
that they're different from the RE's but anyways). 

I've also done the symlink thing, with all versions of Java including (just to
see what happens) using the wrong symlink (eg: using the ns7-gcc29, it doesn't
work of course). 

Finally when using the latest nightly I got this plugin_stack.trace

java.io.EOFException
	at java.io.DataInputStream.readByte(Unknown Source)
	at sun.plugin.navig.motif.Plugin.readString(Unknown Source)
	at sun.plugin.navig.motif.Plugin.doit(Unknown Source)
	at sun.plugin.navig.motif.Plugin.start(Unknown Source)

Hope this helps to confirm.

With the latest Firefox:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1
and:
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_16-b02

on Scientific Linux Fermi (=~Red Hat) 

I am able to browse the indicated  goproblems.com site without incident.  I suspect this is thus resolved.
