User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Mozilla 1.6 Linux crashes on https:// pages that include Java applets, sample URL is above. Version of Linux is SuSE 9.1 with 2.6 kernel, Sun Java version is 1.4.2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to https://www.usalliance.org. 2.Page attempts to load, then Mozilla crashes. 3.Talkback utility (if included with Linux version) does not load when Mozilla crashes. Actual Results: Mozilla crashes Expected Results: Page should have loaded.
Always crashes Mozilla 1.6 for me with the following example: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>example</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <applet archive="notfound.jar" width="100" height="100" code="notfound"> </applet> </body> </html> So it doesn't matter how the page is loaded, or the java plugin used (I've tried blackdown-1.4.1 sun-1.4.2 sun-1.5.0_beta1)
Mozilla 1.7 RC2 for Linux also crashes on the same https page.

Bug is being REOPENED. This has crashed on TWO (2) different systems with both Mozilla 1.6 AND 1.7 Release Candidate 2.
Status: RESOLVED → UNCONFIRMED
Resolution: WORKSFORME → ---
Mozilla 1.7 Release Candidate 3 also crashes in this instance. However on a new install of Mozilla -without- the use of the Java plugin, the page does not crash the browser.
Resolving bug. The issue stemmed from copying the plugin into the /mozilla/plugins/ directory. When a symbolic link to the plugin was created in the /mozilla/plugins/ directory instead, Mozilla does not crash as described.

Last part of sentence should read "...Mozilla does not crash."
