The site uses an applet:

<APPLET NAME="a" CODEBASE="/models/customize/java" CODE="HondaLayersWin.class" 
 WIDTH="355" HEIGHT="153">


And here is part of the JavaScript:


function selectcolor(color) {
  if (!document.applets || !document.applets[0].isActive()) 
    return;
  
  var returnVal = 0;
  if (color!="") {        
    //turn off current images
    loopstart = eval('layerstart_'+selected_color);
    loopend = 1+numofaccessories+loopstart;

    for (var i=loopstart; i<loopend; i++) {
      returnVal = document.applets[0].hideLayer(i);
      if (returnVal==0) return;       
    }
      
    selected_color = color;
    //turn on current images
    loopstart = eval('layerstart_'+selected_color);
    loopend = 1+numofaccessories+loopstart;
 
    for (var i=loopstart; i<loopend; i++) {
      returnVal = document.applets[0].showLayer(i);      
      if (returnVal==0) return;   
    }
  }
}

Reassigning to OJI and to Xiaobin for advice. This bug is a 
duplicate of another OJI/LiveConnect bug, but I'm not sure which one. 

I have no problem with this site on WinNT (build 20010607xx).
I only have a problem on Linux (same build date). 

However, if I first bring up the Java Console on Linux, 
BEFORE trying this site, everything works fine. So is this
therefore a problem with the "lazy loading" of the JVM? 

I had wanted to mark this as a duplicate of bug 84526, but 
I'm not sure they are the same. Bug 84526 actually brings down 
my entire Linux box, whereas this bug only makes Mozilla hang -

   This is the bug Joe is fixing now for Unix platform.
