The debug symbols are missing and the backtrace looks like a crash caused by the IcedTeaPlugin

I noticed that other pages that use java crash firefox. So I agree it is related to IcedTeaPlugin. Let me know if I can help more.

Provide a backtrace with debug symbols (by installing debug packages for IcedTea). :)

Same here, Firefox crashes on *any* Java applet.

Temporary workaround: go to about:config and set dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled to "true", then it won't bring down Firefox.
