[TriLUG] Crashing Firefox

[Owen]

I seem to have resolved the issue. It's weird, but removing all the
existing Java stuff, including the Sun JRE compatability stuff, and then
reinstalling the Fedora stuff, including java-1.5.0-gcj (gcj
compatibility), has sorted it out. I saw some comments about
Firefox/Mozilla crashing if Java isn't set up properly. It's *really*
weird to me because I had Java disabled in the Firefox setup, and I
don't have a Java plugin installed.

I guess that Wikipedia page caused something that depended on Java to be
invoked when rendering the page. Lovely!
