Firefox crashing may be related to the Sun's JRE
plugin only. According to the IBM sdkandruntimeguide.lnx.htm:

"Installing the Java plug-in

To install the Java plug-in, symbolically link it to the plug-in
directory for your browser.

The Java plug-in is based on Mozilla's Open JVM Integration initiative,
which is used with most Mozilla products and derivatives, including
Firefox.

You must symbolically link the plug-in, rather than copy it, so that
the browser and plug-in can locate the JVM."

Presumably if it doesn't register in the first instance it can't crash
Firefox.
