Hi-when I play yahoo chess (java) a player can "boot" the opponent (me) off the table if they do no wish to play. What occurs is the little applet alert window "opens up saying "you have been booted from table X". When this happens, my firefox freezes completely- in fact, most all the programs running become frozen out- and when I hit contol/alt/delete to end the program, I see my CPU usage has vaulted from the usual 2 to 4 percent to 100 percent!  

This did not happen until I downloaded the newest Firefox update! 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.play yahoo chess game
2.ask the opponent to boot you 
3.see if the firefox freezes upon the alert message
Version: unspecified → 1.5.0.x Branch
dial up, NETSCAPE is the provider. 
Reporter, which java version you are using? All version older than 1.5.0_08 seems to be affected. Please try the newest version.
