I spoke too soon, causing me, once again, to respond to my own post.I tried to load the page, again, in firefox from the mozilla site. It did not crash, but it did say that it needed the java plugin. After I added a link to libjavaplugin_oji.so to its plugin directory it also crashes.
Seamonkey did NOT say that it required the java plugin, but there were no entries other than libnullplugin in its plugin directory. Once I added the links there, it also started crashing.
I recently changed to Java 5, so I decided to see if going back to 1.4 would solve the problem. It does not.
I shall return to java 5 and the Debian packaged firefox since they seem to be no worse than any other.
BTW: Opera, which came packaged with java, does NOT crash. Marc
