I'm impressed that you ever had Mozilla work with Java. Mine crashes
every time I hit an applet. Fortunately there is a "make Mozilla
unstable" checkbox available that I just uncheck. (Those wacky developers
have labelled it "enable java". :-)
Alas, I have not had time to pick through the massive Mozilla codebase to
try and track down the problem. It's rare that I really need Java,
anyhow.
A good site for diagnosing Java problems is:

and some good info on plugins and the MIME types they handle:
