If a page is viewed that requires a Java plugin installed, it will give an error
message prompting to install it. If this message is cancelled, it will reappear
again as soon as the mouse scroll wheel is used.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a copy of the Mozilla browser, without the java plugin installed
2. Resize the window so it is fairly small (so that a vertical scrollbar will be
needed for most web pages
3. Goto any web page that requires a Java plugin installed. (eg
http://math.rice.edu/~lanius/fractals/sierjava.html)
4. Wait for the message box to appear, prompting for you to install the java plugin.
5. Click cancel
6. Scroll up or down the page using the mouse scroll wheel.
Actual Results:  
The prompt to install the java plugin comes up again.

Expected Results:  
Not display the error message a second time - just scroll up and down the page.

This only seems to happen when the mouse scroll wheel is used to scroll up and
down the page - if you use the page up / page down keys, the cursor keys or
click the scrollbar then it does not occur.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
