There is known "problem"
If you copy the plugin file
(/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so in my
case) to the plugin directory, the browser segfaults as it happens in
your case.
You should make a softlink from java's plugin file to mozilla's plugin
directory instead. In my case the command is
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/plugins/
Another way to install the plugin for one user only is to softlink the
plugin file to the plugin directory of the user (~/.mozilla/plugins)
