Because it crashes right after the applet loads, and this happens often. 
Also, sometimes the applet that should be embedded in the page 
incorrectly opens in a separate small window, then it crashes and takes 
down all opened Firefox windows with it.
I don't know what can be done about this, but the version of Firefox 
that was provided in the F10 DVD did not crash so often. This began to 
happen after a few updates, though I can't remember exactly which one. 
Indeed, I can't even be sure the problem is in Firefox, it might be in 
some other package it depends on.
The fact is that the current version crashes are very frequent, and not 
only with java applets.
