The two most common reasons for Mozilla crashing with Java applets are copying rather than linking the plugin in the Mozilla plugins directory, and using the wrong (i.e. not the ns610-gcc32) plugin.
I used a link and the right plugin.
I've just downloaded 1.7.3 and that works perfectly with the plugin from the 1.4.2_04 SDK and my own applets. I can't comment on Cisco PIX applets as I don't have any to test.
Thanks. It's working right on another system so I seem to have some unique problem with this system.
Any difference in video driver? I've heard of some video drivers causing the JVM to crash, but I think that's usually ATI drivers on Windows.
Is there any way you can get appletviewer to run the applet, rather than using Mozilla? That would at least separate Mozilla and the JVM.
