Firefox 3 and Java

I prefer Firefox over IE.  I don’t know why, but I can’t stand IE.  I don’t think it’s the speed (I don’t know that I’ve noticed a difference).  I’m not sure what it is.

Anyway, since I’ve upgraded to Firefox 3, Java has been crashing everytime I try to load a Java applet.  I found a bulletin board that suggested I install the Java 6 Update 10 Beta.  This seems to have worked.  A link to Update 10 is below:

I’ve also posted my error that Windows provided for posterity (and in case someone is having the same issue and is Googling):
