mozilla + java = crash

[Bill from Tampa <cbinkle1@tampabay.rr.com>]

I'm running woody, with mozilla 0.9.9 and blackdown java 1.3.1 (Blackdown 
Java-Linux Java(TM) Plug-in 1.3.1), both installed with apt-get. When java 
use is turned on in mozilla, pages with java applets crash mozilla instantly. 
Turning off java allows the page to load normally without crashes, but 
without the java applets. 

I've read that mozilla 0.9.9 and java are not compatable- and the problem is 
supposedly fixable by setting the mozilla useragent string to Mozilla/5. I 
can't find an obvious place to set the useragent from within mozilla, 
however. 

I added a line to /etc/mozilla/prefs.js  (which was supposed to help):

user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE5.0;
Windows 98;)");

But that does not seem to accomplish anything useful.  Any ideas or 
suggestions? Or should I just wait for mozilla to be updated in the woody 
apt-get sources? thanks...
