354485 - Freeze when Java applet fails

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[sagie.duchovne]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

Browsing to the specified URL causes firefox to "freeze". The symptoms are almost total non-responsiveness to mouse, some resonsiveness to keyboard, pages are not being updated (with any pending page loads halted), clicking links causes nothing.

Browsing to the URL with IE reveals there is a bad Java applet (status bar shows "Loading Java Applet Failed..."). Java console output:
java.lang.SecurityException: Key
	at Ticker.init(Ticker.java)
	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Exception in thread "thread applet-Ticker.class" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPainter.showLoadingError(Unknown Source)
	at sun.plugin.AppletViewer.showAppletException(Unknown Source)
	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Following is the information of my JVM:
Java Plug-in 1.5.0_06
Using JRE version 1.5.0_06 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Firefox 1.5.0.7, JRE 1.5.0_06
2. Navigate to URL: http://www.labait.co.il/article.asp?id=36
3. Experience "the freeze"!

2 WFMs. Reporter, do you still see this problem with Firefox 2.0? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

Comment 6

I've upgraded to Firefox 2.0.0.4, and the same behaviour was observed again. Then, I've upgraded the JRE, and the problem persists.

So, I have now an up to date setup of both Firefox and JRE, experiencing the same problem.

The JRE console reports the same problem:
java.lang.SecurityException: Key
	at Ticker.init(Ticker.java)
	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

The behaviour of Firefox is the same as in the previous version: almost total non-responsiveness to mouse, some resonsiveness to keyboard, pages
are not being updated (with any pending page loads halted), clicking links
causes nothing.

Firefox detail:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4.

JRE detail:
Java Plug-in 1.6.0_01

Reporter,

Could you try to reproduce this with a nightly trunk build:

I saw what the reporter saw in comment 6 on branch (using 2.0.0.6) but don't see it using the latest trunk build, tested on Vista. Closing this as WFM since it now WFM.
