I seem to be in deeper do-do than that, this site causes ff to exit;
<http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/11/061130-meteorite.html>
Then click on one of the movies, ff goes away.  No reported error.

I have unpacked the jdk-1_5_0_10-linus.bin package, which auto installed 
itself in /usr/java.  OOo finds it and apparently uses it as is.  So I 
made a link to the plugin and it shows up in FF's about:plugins, but 
another site, 
<http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2004/281104unmistakablecharges.htm> 
which did display the still image, now causes it to exit before fully 
drawing the page.
