Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

As you surf to a page with EITHER a java plugin or a flash plugin the web page
only gets partially (or not all at all) displayed and then the browser window
stops responding which cause all other open mozilla sessions to stop responding
as well.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Surf to a page with a java or flash plugin
2.wait for it to stop responding.
3.kill mozilla taking all other open browser sessions with you.

Actual Results:  The browser session crashed and stopped responding on trying to
load the plugin. It becomes very annoying because you can unintentionally surf
to a page that contains either of these plugins and lose research you were doing
in other mozilla windows.

Expected Results:  That the plugin would load fne, as it does in netscape. Or
the plugin should not load but mozilla should remain stable.

CPU: p4 1.6ghz
RAM:256 meg
OS: Linux redhat 7.1

Reporter: Please try a talkback-enabled build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz

Then, if you get a crash, please post the Talkback ID here.

In addition, there is a known compatibility problem between mozilla, the Sun JRE
1.3.0 plugin and the 2.4 kernel with RH 7.1. For details, see:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84093 

Workaround: Upgrade your Java plugin to at least JRE 1.3.1 or set this
enviornment variable before starting mozilla: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

-> critical
