Description

[Frank Taylor]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

Any time I go to a Java application the browser locks up.  The only recent change
I made to the browser was to load the security update.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a Java application using the browser
2. After the browser doesn't seem to do anything, try to hit CLOSE window

Actual Results:  
Firefox does not sucessfully load the Java application.  It just locks up.
Closing the window does not result in the application actually terminating and
I have to kill the process.

Expected Results:  
Work normally.

try with JRE 1.5

I upgraded to JRE 1.5 per suggestion by Peter Vanderwoude and this fixes the
freeze.  However, shouldn't someone still find out why the browser freezes up
after the security fix?
