268291 - while mozilla was still busy loading the site, clikcing on one of the linkx (like north america) crashes the browser

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[JD]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20041023
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20041023

www.asus.com requires the the java vm plugin be installed.
I have the following plugins in /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla-devel/plugins:
# pwd; ls -l
/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla-devel/plugins
total 54
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     62 Nov  6 21:48 libjavaplugin_oji.so@ ->
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  20816 Oct 23 17:18 libnullplugin.so*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  12592 Oct 23 17:18 libunixprintplugin.so*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  14344 Oct 12 23:32 npflash.so*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel     28 Oct 23 18:52 nppdf.so@ ->
/usr/local/Acrobat5/nppdf.so

This crash is readily reproducible on my machine.
Extra:
Many sites I visit causes the browser to pop up a banner
saying that I need to install a plugin for the mime type
application/x-java-vm
So, it appears that libjavaplugin does not handle this mime type.

Another web site that causes the banner to pop up is
www.lowtrades.com - then click on the link "Client Login"
on the upper tight hand corner.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit www.asus.com
2.While the site is still downloading (i.e it is partially loaded - but some
links are available for "clicking"
3.Click on say.. North America
The browser crashes.

It is important that you click on a link within Asus.com
while the page is still downloading.

Actual Results:  
Browser crashes

Expected Results:  
Should have brought up the Asus web page for 
North America.

I have tried to make the mime-type application/x-java-vm to be handled by
/usr/local/bin/javavm, to no avail.

[timeless]

if your mozilla is compiled with gcc3, then you're linking to the wrong plugin,
and you could have found this out by reading the release notes.

please check about:buildconfig, if you can't understand the output, paste it in
this bug.
