Problems with java applets and firefox

[Marco]

Great idea.
I report the error given by firefox-devel:
------

GConf Error: Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child 
process "/usr/local/libexec/gconfd-2" (Invalid argument)

GConf Error: Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child 
process "/usr/local/libexec/gconfd-2" (Invalid argument)

Exec of "/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/java_vm" failed: Invalid argument

Could not read ack from child process
Plugin: Java VM process has died.
plugin: java process exited with status 6
Could not start JavaVM!

VM did not start up properly

--------------------

Diablo works fine, as I can see. I'm studying Java with NetBeans, and it seems 
to work correctly. 
But ... now? Is it maybe a problem of the most recent firefox version? Should 
I return to 1.5 release?

Thanks for your help. Beto.
