I installed Java, tried to verify, in the java console I saw: 

liveconnect: JSObject::eval(self.document.URL)
basic: null
liveconnect: JSObject::eval(self.document.URL)
basic: null
ERROR: unexpectedly couldn't get the ClassLoaderInfo for the codebase/cache key

The verification page on java.com said java was not installed correctly. I then went BACK to the previous page, and Firefox crashed. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to verification page
2.Let it verify that java is not installed correctly
3.press Back

Firefox crashes.

I have restarted and tried this several times, with the same result. 
Actual Results:  
Firefox crashed

Expected Results:  
Verification that Java was installed correctly

I created a new empty profile (mkdir \tmp\test\; firefox -no-remote -profile \tmp\test) and java worked. 

Then I created a new full profile, moved all the files as suggested in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox, and Java didn't work.

Then I uninstalled and reinstalled java, and it still doesn't work, but I get these console messages:

I seem to have fixed this by deleting the extensions folder. 

But this problem should be fixed because most users won't be ready to poke around and do this kind of digging.
