Remember that this is just RC1 of Firefox, and IIRC Hardy will include the
stable version once it ships. Also, in-browser Java is far less prevalent
then it used to be, in fact, Runescape is the only in-browser Java
application I can think of. I'm not on Hardy anymore, otherwise I'd give
installing Java a try, because the problem might also be specific to your
machine. Did you file a bug report?

Just my 2 cents

(Btw, is there a Firefox 2 package for Hardy anywhere? Would be handy for
web development...)
