[Christian Fischer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

after installing ff 1.0.3 and jre 1.5.02 (as admin) it is not possible for a
regular user to access any java-applets.
i have to start any applet as admin befor..
after that, it runs. it should be possible without that step, i think.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install ff & jre as admin
2.restart
3.login as a regular user
4. visit a java applet

Actual Results:  
nothing. java does not show anything.. (nothing in the systray either)


Expected Results:  
the applet/javavm should start and dispay the applet

the mozilla suite doesn't have this problem..

Is this still a valid bug? Try to confirm it with a nightly build
http://www.mozilla.org/developer and report back whether this issue is still
pertinent.

Otherwise, this bug will be marked INVALID for for inactivity in excess of 60
days (pre-1.0.4). I am self-assigning to track this bug and will reassign to
original owner if this bug is still valid.

Christian are you able to reproduce this with Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later and the latest version of the JRE (I believe, 1.6.0 Update 1)?

Closing as INCOMPLETE due to lack of information. If you're still able to reproduce this, please answer comment 3 before reopening.
