User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040617

When the 'Play Now' button is clicked for any online game at Pogo.com, a new
window appears and displays an advertisement.  After showing the advertisement,
the chosen Java-based game should load, but it does not.  The advertisement
appears forever.

I am using Sun's JVM.  I have tried multiple versions of the JVM and multiple
versions of Mozilla.  I first noticed the problem in the pre-release versions of
Mozilla 1.7.

I have been told that the same problem exists in Windows with Mozilla and Sun's
JVM.  I cannot confirm this at this time.

I have found reference to this problem at this URL:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=981711#post981711

I previously used Pogo.com with great success with the same VM.  I do not know
if this problem is the result of a change at Pogo.com or with a bug in Mozilla
or Java.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sign in to Pogo.com
2. Select a game a click the 'Play Now' button.
3. A new window should appear and display an advertisement.  After a few
seconds, the game should load, but it does not.


Actual Results:  
The advertisement will continue to be displayed for as long as the window
remains open.  I have tested this at greater than 1 hour.  Java never seems to
start.

Expected Results:  
After only a few seconds displaying the advertisement, the game should load.

What does Java console report ?
Possible dupe of bug 170616.
