mozilla problems

Pentium Pro 333, 128meg, Suse Linux 8.1 on KDE desktop (usually). 40 gig HD 
w/22 gig free.  Cable modem.

Running Mozilla 1.2.1 my daughter tried to load a java plugin with its 
automatic download/install feature, or whatever it is called.  It locked up 
the KDE desktop, and I had to do a <alt><ctrl><backspace> to kill X.  Now, in 
that one user only, when launching Mozilla, it loads about 120 plulginserver 
processes!  This does NOT happen with any of the other users!

I looked through the .mozilla file in that one user (works fine for others) 
but with my limited experience, I can't tell where it is getting it.  
(Cleared the cache and all of that too).  

I next renamed my .mozilla file to .oldmozilla, and ran mozilla.  No change, 
just a new .mozilla file.

These processes also don't want to respond to 
the kill command.

Is there anywhere a users files could be placed to make it load the dang 
pluginserver processes?

Mozilla is not useable under the one users desktop, as it slows the system to 
a crawl.

Any ideas?
