Sometimes when using java it hangs on loading and other times it leaves the
console open and the java and mozilla systems hooks running. I origanly noticed
the problem in firebird and have now duplicated it in the latest build of mozilla
running win 98se and jre standard edition v. 1.4 1_02 and using firebird v.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030526 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open anyhting that uses java and let it run/start the concole
2.exit and it leaves java and mozilla/firebird running in the task manager
3.must then end task in manager

Actual Results:  
I've tested it on sites such as www.pogo.com and www.pokerroom.com both are game
sites and as stated upon exiting both java and mozilla are left running and must
be shut down using the task manager

JavaScript Engine is the wrong component for problems with Java.
Reassigning to OJI component -

Richard: note that if you bring up the Java Console, it will stay up
until you dismiss it, even if you have already dismissed Mozilla.

Can you clarify:

1. Are you bringing up the console yourself, via

      Tools > Web Development > Java Console ?

2. When you say "exit", what do you mean? Are you exiting both
   Mozilla and the Java Console? Or just Mozilla?

He is talking about the Sun Java plugin... not the javaSCRIPT console...

I think

Comment 3

[Phil Schwartau]

In addition to a JavaScript Console, Mozilla also provides a Java Console:

                Tools > Web Development > Java Console

We need to find out if this is being opened manually by the user.
If so, it needs to be closed by the user, or else it will stay up -

Ok to clarify Yes I'm talking about the Sun java plugin and it leaves the
console and the program active upon closing anything that is running java.

Comment 5

[Tom Sommer]

As I expected this was about Sun Java, and so I can very much confirm this bug,
which is very annoying

Comment 6

[Richard Moody]

To answer your questions Phil no I'm not talking about the javascript cosole in
mozilla nor am I opening the java plugin console I'm talking primarily about the
java sun plugin. Upon closing the window that the java script is in and exiting
mozilla/firebird {its a problem with both} java keeps running as well as mozilla
and they must be shutdown in the task manager. If I'm not making this any
clearer maybe Tom can explain it better since he seems to have the same problem.

[Tom Sommer]

I'll try...

When you visit a site that contains JAVA, the SUN JAVA plugin automatically
loads and places an icon in your system tray. Once you exit the browser, this
plugin/application keeps running in your system tray. It should close once the
browser is closed.

Confirmed on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b)
Gecko/20030523 Mozilla Firebird/0.6. My PC's a Cel.2GHz, 256MB WinXP SP1 Home
Ed. I wonder if anyone has the problem on XP, can check if my aggressive
disabling of Control Panel -> Adminitrative Tools -> Services is somehow causing
the problem. My bro running P4-2.4G XP Pro w. fewer disabling of Services has no
such prob.

I am also experiencing this problem, also with pogo.com, and I'm sure with other
similar sites.  For me, after closing a game window, it doesn't allow me to do
ANYTHING else with the browser- FB simply locks up totally, and I can't even
close it unless I use File > Exit- when closing in that manner, I get the same
profile window upon restart that was mentioned above.

I am using Java 1.4.1_03 and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030608 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

And incidentally, nothing would happen on pogo when using Java 1.4.2beta,
although I don't know whether that problem is related to this bug or not.

java icon will not disappear util you close all instance of mozilla (include
mail-news), it is reasonable.
