270522 - Firefox 1.0 + Mac OS X 10.3.6 + java 1.4.2_05 = CRASH

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 287775

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Owen Densmore]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/125.5.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

[This is a re-try of bug 270244 which had an incorrect talkback reference; sorry!  The incorrect talkback 
reference caused resolving the bug as a duplicate to an unrelated bug.]

The latest Mac OS X release apparently breaks the Firefox/Java/JavaPlugin.  To
see this, beam into http://backspaces.net/models/buttons.html.  The model will
load OK, showing a NetLogo model.  Click "setup".  Crash.

Discussions with the NetLogo team confirmed that this used to work quite well,
thus is likely new with the latest Mac OS X release.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Beam into http://backspaces.net/models/buttons.html
2. Let applet load.  Displays a set of buttons and additional stuff
3. Click "setup".
Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes, causing TalkBack to appear

Expected Results:  
Run the applet and show a NetLogo model

Talkback: TB2022173Q. Theme is standard default, w/ small icons.

This problem is caused by a bug/design-flaw in Firefox 1.0 that broke
the MRJ Plugin, a fixed-up version of which is used by the Java
Embedding Plugin.  I've just released a new version (0.8.7) of the
Java Embedding Plugin that works around this bug.

Steven, is there a bug filed on the original problem?

(In reply to comment #2)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.  But if your question is "did
I open a bug on this specific issue?", the answer is "no".  My most
detailed description is the comment I posted to bug 234169 (which I
cited in my SourceForge Bugs tracker report whose URL is in comment #1
above):

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234169#c75

As far as I know, the MRJ Plugin is the only program that was broken
by this change in Firefox.  And since I've now worked around it, the
issue is moot as far as I'm concerned.

No entry for Incident ID: 2022173 (it has been deleted from the database).
Please retry it and post the new Talkback ID here.

This isn't just crashing on Mac, and it crashes without loading or having to
click setup on Windows.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050325
Firefox/1.0+

Confirms with latest-trunk on WindowsXP Pro SP1 Build 2600.  This appears to be
a dupe of 262313, which causes a crash whenever loading a Java applet in
Firefox.  If per these comments it is something in Firefox that has been fixed
with the new Java Embedding Plugin, then woo.  I am not going to confirm this or
dupe this.  Adding dupe? to the status whiteboard and CCing myself.

I get a crash with Firefox 2005-03-25-08 trunk, but not with later
versions (2005-03-26-07-trunk or 2005-03-27-07-trunk).

Tested on Windows XP Pro with SP2 and all the latest updates, with
version 1.5.0_01 of Sun's J2SE JRE (also the latest version).

I have no problems with Firefox 2005-03-25-08-trunk or
2005-03-26-08-trunk on OS X (10.3.8 with latest Java and Java
Embedding Plugin 0.9.0).

So the problem (whatever it was) now seems to be fixed, and (probably)
to have been Windows-specific.  Needless to say, this problem is
completely unrelated to the original one (the one that this bug report
was opened for).

> and (probably) to have been Windows-specific

Actually, the crash happens on both Windows and Linux, but only with
the 2005-03-25 trunk nightly.  (And it doesn't happen even with that
nightly on Mac OS X.)

For more info see bug 287775 or bug 262313.
