I had some problems with Java/Moz the other day; finally gave up. 
However, during the process, I had moz crash on me quite a bit. Each 
time  I had to restore prefs.js from a backup that I had in order to get 
Moz to start up again. If you don't have a backup of that file, or 
that's not a solution for you, you can move your current .mozilla 
directory out of the way (rename it), and then Moz should start clean; 
you can then copy over your mail files and bookmarks and address books, 
etc, and reset some of your preferences.
