Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 162134

Then use Apple-T to create a new tab. Go to another site in that tab, and the
Java applet is visible, and obstructs the current tab's content. Closing the tab
gets rid of the applet.

I do not think the applet should have access to the content or form input from
other tabs, so it's probably not a security issue. But I've just come across
this and so do not know if this isn't a security issue.

See bug 162134 comment 201 for some explanation. Using the "Java Embedding
Plugin" helps these symptoms quite a bit
