301285 - Firefox crashes or freezes with java

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[vaclavpe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; cs-CZ; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; cs-CZ; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

On the abovementioned page Java machine asks for proxy name/passwd. But it is
not possible to write anything into test boxes. After clicking "Cancel" FF
freezes. Sometimes no passwd window appears and FF crashes.
On console I got following:
vaclavp@pcdyn4144:~> /opt/firefox-1.0/firefox

(firefox-bin:25266): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has
wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
Java property javaplugin.jre.path defined as
/tmp/jre1.5.0_02
But that directory does not exist.
Using JRE from
/opt/jre1.5.0_02
rem:Set array arr=81ACF48 start=0 len=25 buf[0]=118
/opt/firefox-1.0/run-mozilla.sh: line 451: 25266 Killed                  "$prog"
${1+"$@"}

1. Install Java

WFM, nothing freezes for me and the applets run correcly though firefox slows
down while the applets are loading but this is appearent with all other browsers
too including MSIE on windows.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Firefox 1.5 freezes when trying to load a homepage that contains a Java applet. For example, go to www.EPLtalk.com and you'll see that it freezes. The site worked fine with Firefox 1.0.

The link works fine on my box:
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_08-b03

works for me with the latest java release

Reporter, do you still see this problem on a recent Firefox Release ?

If so, could you provide a Talkback ID from the crash ?
