Pages with Java crash subsequent pages

With Mac Firefox 8.0 using a certain extension (that I have used for years), if I open a page that uses Java and then open another page right afterward, that causes Firefox to crash. If I open another tab and close the one running Java, another page will load with no problem. This is a very recent thing. I do not think it was happening before the last Apple Java update. The extension in question is Kill Bright Backgrounds. It dims the background colour of a page if it is too bright. Why would this happen?

Thanks, but the situation being described in that page is not quite the same. Closing a page using Java does not cause a crash. It is loading another page without first closing the page using Java that causes the crash.
