>INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the plugin manager
That looks like an Issue with the java plugin

I was able to reproduce this on the latest Linux trunk nightly (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090702 Minefield/3.6a1pre) with a clean profile and only the null plugin. The crash seems to happen whenever a page that uses a plugin is loaded (I believe the default Minefield homepage is in this category). Trying to open the Add-ons window or going to about:plugins also crashes the browser.

this is the fault of your java plugin. complain to sun.

Do you still think it's the fault of the Java plugin?

Comment 5

[timeless]

sure, because it isn't possible to reproduce this without the java plugin.

Comment 6

[Theodore Lee]

Okay, upon further investigation I've found that timeless is right. Even though I thought I removed the Java plugin from my system, one of the shared libraries was still there, and it was linked to from '/etc/alternatives/'. Renaming the library stopped the crashes.

marking invalid (java plugin bug, the crash itself should be solved if we put Java to OOP)
