Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Sander]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523
BuildID:    2002052306

Spun off from bug 146867:
"Also, when I go to www.keyscan.ca Mozilla locks up and I have to kill it.
(I'm using Mozilla 1.0 RC2)"

Confirmed. First time loading of the page doesn't give any problems, but trying
to navigate through the applet menu causes a crash.

WFM with build 2002052306 under Windows ME. Reporter, pleaee use the latest JRE
plug-in.

Thank you.  Installed JRE 1.4.x and it works fine.

My entire java appeared to have been borked. (Good thing I didn't confirm too
many java crashes.)
- Should this be marked WFM, or invalid?

I do wonder about Mozilla crashing with old versions of the java plugin
though... Shouldn't that be caught a lot more gracefully? Is there already a bug
for this / any work done on this, or is that plain impossible?
