Is there a known issue with Java 1.4.2 and Firefox 1.0? Or with either of the above and FC3?

 

I've symlinked /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins, checked that the plugin is there using about:plugins, but Firefox crashes every time I load a page that uses Java. I tried changing the symlink to ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/. but same result. This same setup works just fine on my Debian machine, so I'm really at a loss. Any ideas?

Java works fine with JDK 1.5.0 and Firefox 1.0-6. Not a solution, really, since the same setup works fine in Debian, and since I don't like Sun's new licensing, but it can at least serve as a temporary solution if someone else is having this problem.

fc3 ships with firefox 1.0 pr (preview release)

 

that could be the issue...
