Seems a bit obvious, but have you tried deleting the ffox cache, updating java and creating a new ffox profile? Google results for firefox java crash seem to point towards the new profile being a possible fix.

Also try deleting the files in jars in ~/Library/Java/Extensions, as suggested here: http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view%5Fforum%5Fthread.php?locale=ga-IE&comments%5FparentId=385394&forumId=1

update java to the latest versions. then clear cashe (and if you have to back up bookmarks and create a new profile, or even reinstall wiping the old profile) – alpha1 Sep 19 '09 at 22:22
