Mozilla + Java + Flash = Crash

[visgoth]

I'm running mozilla 0.9.5 on redhat 7.1 with the netscape 6 or whatever java vm, and the latest flash plugin. Anytime a page is loaded that has flash mozilla locks up. Without the java vm plugin it runs fine, but once both are installed bad things happen. Anyone else having this stuff happen?

Edit: Java crashes on any page that uses applets. Jscript works fine though. Is there an alternative to that damn netscape java plugin that I can use?

Go get the java runtime environment from Sun's website. It www.sun.com. (http://www.sun.com.) If anymore help is needed just ask because I just finnished instaling this in order to run LimeWire. It also works GREAT for Mozilla :) Its version 1.3.1. Good luck.

I downloaded and installed the rpm package, and followed the instructions on this page (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/install-linux.html) However, mozilla doesn't detect the plugin, pages with java demand the plugin, and the plugin listing doesn't show java anywhere :( Did you do any extra stuff to get it to work?

So lets clerify things. I'm really new to linux so here it goes. You downloaded the JRE to (i'll assume)/user/home. You opend up a terminal and did su to get root. Here is where I got confused. The JRE file name has both a wierd ending on it ".rpm.bin". I can't remember if I had to do
chmod +x "filename" (assuming its actually a .bin file) to make it exeacutable and then ./"filename" to install it as a .bin file. I think what happend is that after using the command ./"filename" I was left with an rpm and then just used
rpm -ivh "filename.rpm" to install. The first attempt at installing failed badly apparently because I had downloaded the file as root and then installed as root. After removing the package using the package handler and re-downloading as "user" and installing everything was fine. LimeWire works beautifully and java applets work great in mozilla. If there is anything I missed let me know. If this was of absolutely no help, sorry man, I'm verry new :)
