Java Plugin, FFox 2, Fbsd7

[Norberto Meijome]

Hi list,
I have ffox 2, jdk1.5 and .16 installed and working ok for other programs.

I have the 1.5 plugin loaded and recognised OK in about:plugins:
[betom at ayiin] [Fri Nov  9 10:41:19 2007]
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so

When I try to load Sun's applet test ( http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml ) , but I get this in the java console , and the applet doesn't load :

I tested it with JAVA_HOME unset (my default) and with JAVA_HOME set to /usr/local/jdk.1.5.0/, with JAVA_VERSION set and unset.

When I try another applet, randomly on the web ( http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml ) , i get  the following too

If i load the 1.6 plugin instead, i get the same result, BUT ffox locks up , using over 60% CPU non stop. FFox stops refreshing its window , and I have to kill it.

The environment is the same  on 6.2 (eg, no lib paths defined,etc), but never had this problem...  Any pointers? 

( I reiterate, Eclipse, freemind, yed, Lucene's Luke analyzer, and others work just fine)

thanks,
B
