java causes firefox crash on 64bit edgy (32 and 64 browser)

[chicken159]

Binary package hint: firefox

'Live trading' window (java) at barclaysstockbrokerscfds-fst.co.uk causes segmentation fault on Firefox [Edgy amd64] (requires account to launch). Works fine on 32bit Edgy. Both 32 and 64bit versions of Firefox, and different Java packages installed with same results.

I ran through the steps on the wiki page, and the details are attached.
