Description

[Joseph.May]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0

When I went tried to open the Javascript applet "handwriting imput" on the above website, it did not work. After trying to do that everything I tried to type in Firefox (including report page) was backwards (like xoferif for firefox)I exited out but Firefox would not reopen after that until I restarted my computer

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/chinese-dictionary.php
2. click on the paintbrush icon
3. If it doesn't work, try typing something... if the bug is repeated, It should be backwards
4. If that happens, exit out of Firefox and try reopening it.
Actual Results:  
It did not work, and Firefox started typing backwards and then did not open until computer was restarted.

Expected Results:  
It should have opened the Javascript applet

It works for me, what version of Java do you have?

(in your address bar, type about:plugins and search for Java)

I had this happen to me and it turned out someone was leaning against my wireless keyboard! (which I was not using, but was still radio connected)
