Well I finally have Java up and running perfectly under Firefox 3.6! I 
compiled the final release version of FF 3.6 and created a symlink in 
/usr/local/bin/ to the script firefox exactly as I had done after 
building the release candidate. Previously I have been testing Firefox 
3.6 by starting it from the command line but this time I tested the 
build by clicking on the Firefox application icon in the E17 shelf. (As 
I have /usr/local/bin set to take precedence over /usr/bin in my PATH  
/usr/local/bin/firefox starts instead of  /usr/bin/firefox)

I experienced no crashes loading a java applet starting FF 3.6 from the 
shelf but yet if I start it from the command line it will crash loading 
an applet every time. Not sure why this is ... main thing is that it's 
(and obviously always was) now working :-)
