Updating your Java might help http://www.java.com. Else the Firefox support
forum might be of some help http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38, or
the Firefox FAQ http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=106431.

Alright, it works the second time for some reason, but on first load it did
crash on both me and my friends computers, and it loaded up the second time for me.

I believe it has something to do with java but I cannot confirm that, however
since it worked fine in IE the first time with java then there's something
questionable going on.

Oh well.

According to "friend", it still crashes his firefox (never the IE), but he
doesn't want to sign up to bugzilla just to post that (lazy).

However, if it always works the second time, I suppose it's just a java bug.  By
the way, I do have the latest java, when I go to java.com I see so:

YOU'VE GOT THE LATEST!
Now explore java.com and the amazing experience of Java technology, or find
other Java software versions and help

Anyway, it crashed the first time on 1.0.1 with the latest java, so, there's a
bug (which is apparently rare) with it.  Maybe it's because I'm on 1.7.6 and the
two WFM are on 1.8b2, while the two persons reporting the problem (Me at the
friend who is lazy) are on 1.7.6 and 1.7.5, respectively.

Works fine on 500mhz g4 w/ Firefox 1.0.4...  Though there are ~20 - 30 java
applets on that page.
