      Problem Description :
      The mozilla/NS7 crashes on linux while loading Plug-in if
      - The JRE has been updated(from rc to fcs,from one promoted tiger build to another)
      - the old deployment.properties exists in the <user_deployment_home>

      If at any point of time the JRE bits has been updated by the user then for clean run,the deployment_home needs to be cleaned before invoking Plug-in inside mozilla/NS7 browsers. This problem has been reported to the Plug-in developers(Xiaobin/Stanley) and they have decided to document this issue for the outside users as they will encounter this problem whenever they will try to update the JRE(from beta -> rc -> fcs)
      This issue is only in tiger
      This protential problem is documented in the product release notes:
