Anytime I am playing a java based yahoo game it will randomly encounter serious errors and close all windows. This happens at least once in every 30 minute session. I know for a fact that I have the most up-to-date java software and am not in need of an update. Nor is it stale cookies or temporary internet files. Internet explorer runs it fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up a yahoo java game
2. Play the game and start having fun
3. Wait and a window will popup telling you firefox had an error and must close everything

Actual Results:  
Firefox closes and you have to restart it.

Expected Results:  
The software shouldn't have had the error in the first place. It is supposed to be as integrated as internet explorer and not just safer.

Reporter, please use about:plugins and tell us your installed java version. It seems that all versions older than update 8 are affected.

Take also a look at bug 351473. Duping?
