322257 - Java applets go blank immediately

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jon Kåre Hellan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051224 Debian/1.5.dfsg-3 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051224 Debian/1.5.dfsg-3 Firefox/1.5

Java applets seem to refresh the screen once and then go blank. See e.g. the URL above, but I haven't seen *any* applet work.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the URL


Actual Results:  
Applet goes blank immediately

Expected Results:  
Applet is usable

The java VM is JDK 1.5.0 from Sun. Distro is Debian sid. Browser is Firefox 1.5 version 1.5.dfsg-3. Applets work with the same VM and Opera, mozilla 1.7 and Epiphany.

Also type about:plugins in the address bar and check for the java plugin.

I believe this may be a duplicate of 315841.  Are you using an extension like Adblock?

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
