My colleagues have found same crashes on moz1.7 
(i can't use moz1.7 as my solaris desktop doesn't have the required patches..and
 our sys-admins aren't very friendly these days :(  ).

How and where did you install the java plugin?

Comment 3

[Amit Sogani]

I got the java from sun.com and installed in locally in my home area.
 and have following set: <java_install_area>/bin in $PATH,
<java_install_area>/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH (not sure if i need this). Also, made
a link to libjavaplugins_oji.so to the <moz_install_dir>/plugins directory.

i just downloaded the latest java RE from sun website..1.4.2_05 and that seems
to be working fine.. tried a few website, where moz used to crash earlier and
now it seems to be chugging along pretty fine.

You can mark this bug fixed/resolved.. with maybe a request to doc team to
update the README/releaseNotes etc. to get the latest java.
