I'm not sure this will help much; but I couldn't get my Yahoo email to work well using Konqueror until I activated both both Java and Javascript. When I pointed Konqueror to the Java path, I used the jre executable. Everything I normally use on the internet generally works now; but I don't surf much. I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 Stable and jre-1.1.8. (I think this is the Linux port. It was installed prior to the announcement regarding FreeBSD-native Java, in any case).
