Some people have more problems with the latest version of Java, some people not, it occurs randomly and usually when it is more disturbing, nobody know certainly what happens... well, I don't know why this is named Computer "Science". ;-)

I too have had random crashes of Firefox on two different hardware platforms. It appears to be random as no particular site or sequence seems to trigger it. The frequency is low and may not be reported as a problem. This does make troubleshooting a bitch. It is disturbing it exits without a clue.
There is one site for me that makes it occur more often than any other place, and that is www.jigzone.com, which uses a java applet to create online jigsaw puzzles. Problems did not start appearing there for me until I upgraded to Java 1.5 JRE. I remember that my son has problems with it at a game site that uses java heavily for its online game. The problems there either locked up Firefox or caused it to crash with an error report, but not disappear without warning. That was on WinXP. And he uses an ATI card. No NVidia drivers. But it does not happen at all sites using java applets.
My own impression is that it is related to either the java JRE or the
java applets' programming in the web-page or to Firefox's handling of
java. The problems show up on different platforms and also on ATI
videocards means it is not Linux related nor is it related to nvidia
video drivers.
Where can I get the jre_1_5_0_01 ? Because it is hang on jre 1.5.0-02

Howeer, please remember that the JRE now has an automatic update feature, and you will need to turn that off if you don't want it upgraded again to the most current version. And I don't remember how to do that right off hand, cuz I normally prefer my JRE to be updated, so you'll have to go poking around or ask someone else. It's supposed to notify you, but I don't remember if that is an option or not. I apologize for that.
