I have an update on this bug

Steps to recreate the problem
------------------------------

1. Install Firefox 
2. Install itunes for windowx XP which includes the quick time plugin
3. go to a page with <embed> tag like the one in
http://www.utdallas.edu/~chung/course.html
4. Firefox will stop responding.

Note: The crash is due to the embed in the page and not due to java.

Thanks
