But I don't have Java installed, which the site requires.

Reporter:
Which JRE Do you use ? (see "about:plugins")
Do you also crash if you load http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml ?

From about:plugins:
    Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_06-b03
      File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
      Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_06

I guess I hadn't accessed a site with an applet before this.  Accessing Sun's
test page causes a similar crash, so it would appear to be a Java plugin problem.

I apologize if I've wasted your time.  Thanks for the prompt response.

WFM on current linux build w/ Java 1.5.0_02.

Steve, I highly recommend paying a visit to http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
  and upgrading.  I (coincidentally) did so after crashing on some page earlier
tonight and have been browsing happily since.

That usually means that you copied the java symlink in the Mozilla plugin
directory instead of symlinking or the symlink is broken.

-> invalid (java installation broken)
