I also want to confirm this bug on lucid. Not a firefox crash but
openJDK. Java spikes the cpu to 100%.  I think that anyone saying
facebook java uploader works for them doesn't  have OpenJDK installed. I
have seen this exact issue on 5 pc of different hardware config. The
only thing they had in common was OpenJDK.

Installing sun-java-jre and sun-java6-plugin and removing OpenJDK fixes issue.
------------
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre 
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
-----------
then remember to remove OpenJDK. 

sun-java reports a warning about running signed and unsigned code in
facebook applet. So may be a bug in the way OpenJDK handles this.
