I tried deleting my .mozilla directory but it didn't fix the problem. The
first website I visited with java caused mozilla to quit immediately. It's
just about instant too, so you have no time to try and find out the problem.
I have had to go back to using netscape 4.77 as my main web browser. This is
a shame, cos I was really getting to like mozilla.
