Java crashes Firefox. Java applets, Java Console, everything

I have a problem.

I am using Firefox, and can't load anything Java.

That includes applets and the Java Console.

Whenever I try to load anything based on Java, this pops up.

Here are the Add-Ons I have:

Spoiler for Many, many add-ons.:

I have the latest version of Java, and Firefox 2.0.0.20, which is the last build of Firefox 2.

I am not going to upgrade to 3.

I've reinstalled both several times, using several different versions. The problem still exists.

Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.

By the way, is there a way I can make a new profile or something (such as the one in %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) with no add-ons, to see if it is an add-on?

If you have FF on the "default browser" spot in your start menu, right click it and choose "Firefox safe mode"

Thanks, but Java crashes Safe Mode too.

Back up your profile with something like MozBackup, then restore everything except for addons. You can redownload them and figure out if a specific one is causing a problem, or if the problem isn't related to any of the addons.

Thanks, however, I have found the solution.

You may now use your shiny padlock, mods.
