The two most common reasons for Mozilla crashing with Java applets are
copying rather than linking the plugin in the Mozilla plugins directory, and
using the wrong (i.e. not the ns610-gcc32) plugin.
I've just downloaded 1.7.3 and that works perfectly with the plugin from the
1.4.2_04 SDK and my own applets. I can't comment on Cisco PIX applets as I
don't have any to test.
