User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040423 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040423 Firefox/0.8.0+
At least at http://www.elgacu.com/ the popup blocker blocks the window that is
used to install a plugin.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
0. Don't have Java installed
1. Visit http://www.elgacu.com/
2. Click on the plugin (puzzle piece) at the top of the page
3. Click OK in the plugin dialog
Actual Results:
No plugin search window comes up; instead I see that the popup has been blocked.
Expected Results:
Took me to the plugin search page.
If I disable popup blocking for http://www.elgacu.com/ this problem goes away.

The only plugin needed is java plugin.
I got no problem of plugins here, with a firefox homemade based on Mozilla 1.7
branch code (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040423
Firefox/0.8.0+ (MozJF))

Reporter: Do you have a idea when this regression appeared first?
os to all, since i see this with a build from 23th on win2k
Keywords: regression
OS: Linux → All
WFM using a trunk build from yesterday, WinXP, *with Flash installed*. However
with Flash (and Java) not installed, this page never finished loading and then I
could reproduce the bug. Reporter, is that what you see as well? The page never
finishes loading? (Do you have Flash installed? There's an invisible Flash
plugin on this page as well as the visible Java plugin.) If so, this is bug 101190.
Actually we have many problems with this page. It's an awesome page. It does
things that I had no idea even worked. It has embedded body tags. Seriously, it goes
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<object></object>
<?xml declaration>
<!doctype declaration>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<applet></applet>
</body>
</html>
<div>
<table></table>
</div>
etc.
</body>
</html>
But this doesn't seem to cause Mozilla any problems, so that's just an aside.
I've filed bug 241592 for the page load never finishing. Installing Flash or
adding height and width attributes to the one img tag missing them enables
Mozilla to finish loading the document more often than not. With either change,
clicking the Java plugin puzzle piece at the top of the page successfully opens
the plugin finder window.
However, the plugin finder page itself never finishes loading. It attempts to
load
http://plugins.netscape.com/plug-in_finder.adp?mimetype=application/x-java.vm
and never gets anywhere with it. I can't tell that anything tricky is going on;
I don't know why that happens. That might be another new bug.
So like I said, many bad things. But the one about the popup blocker, I believe
that one's already been filed. Please close as a duplicate if this matches your
observations.
