276949 - This Java site seems to make firefox lose its mind, wonks printing, etc

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[chrism]

go to

http://aviationweather.gov

click metars

click AIR/SIGMETs

Every single time when I click the SIG and AIR mets check boxes on and off in
this window Firefox eventually loses its mind.  Things like cut and paste (or
copy) seem to quit working in the Address field.  Printing gets all wonked up. 
General insanity ensues.  I've tried reboots and going back to the site and
every time it happens to me again.  I run OS X 10.3.6 on a dual G5.

Other sites I've visited that use a lot of Java seem to give me problems, but
this is the first I've really documented because I have to use it.  I have to
use another browser for this one.

Does it happen with the default plugin (i.e. you haven't installed extra java
plugin) or with the Java Embbeding Plugin.

I use the normal java plugin and everything is ok. I suggest that you remove
your current java plugin an put in the normal one.
