[Comment 1 Jory A. Pratt 2006-10-25 06:52:15 UTC]

remove the blackdown plugin and your problem should be resolved. The plugin is by no means compatible with anything >=firefox-1.5

[Comment 2 Jory A. Pratt 2006-11-01 19:53:53 UTC]

so is this still an issue or can we close this as resolved?

Resolving via Anarchy - java not supported.
