This week I installed Ubuntu on two laptops. On one, Firefox was rock solid, on the other it was very flakey. After much head-scratching, I found that I'd used the Java 1.4 plugin on the stable laptop and the 1.5 plugin on the dodgy one.
I installed Java 1.4 on the dodgy one, and it is no longer dodgy!

Hope this helps someone somewhere.
