And have you found any page with a Java applet that doesn't crash it? I
haven't. ;)
AFAIK it should be possible to get the Mozilla Java plugin working, look at
http://www.blackdown.org . It would probably involve building stuff yourself
or messing with RPMs though.

Konqueror also has crypto and Java (provided you get any JDK or JRE running,
again look at blackdown).
Moreover, Netscape plugins are working with both Mozilla and Konqueror, but
not with Netscape. How ironic.
