When I visit the http://www.popupcheck.com page, before entering any of the
popup tests, on the front page, I get an external Java error, after which FF
freezes, and when I try to close that tab, the FF crashes.

Java version is : j2re1.4.2_05 with standard installation.

Reproducible: Always

1. Just go to this page :)
