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):
