After manually updating to Java MacOSX10.5 Update 2 two months ago, I noticed something weird with my Firefox. At first, I ignored it, “heh must be a screwed-up page Im trying to open…” But lately, I noticed that most of the pages I am opening with Java applets crashes consistently. So here is the culprit, try to delete java caches if there are any…

Deleting the cache.. Go to
/Application/Utilities/Java/ and launch Java Preferences.app or you could seach for “java preferences” in spotlight.

If the problem still persist, I bet we can trim down which java versions to use…
