Vista a site that uses java.  Java will no longer load even with ipc settings at the current default, false.

Using latest hourly build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20091215 Minefield/3.7a1pre Firefox/3.6 ID:20091215021820

cset: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c39745ba3c9e
Java: 6.0update 17 (6.0.170.4)
Win7 64bit 

No noted errors in Console 2
Visit the URL and select any puzzle from the left column, wait and note that Java is not loaded.

Java doesn't work at all in mozilla-central, does it? We're waiting on the new Java plugin with NPAPI support instead of OJI.

FWIW, the ipc plugin support currently only works on windows/linux: we haven't implemented it at all on mac, so flipping the pref won't make any difference.

Yes, Java works just fine in m-c builds on windows, and I assume other platforms since I've not seen anyone mention about it not working.
No, I'm talking about Mac specifically. We removed support for the "old style Java" with OJI. On Windows (and Linux) Sun has released new versions of Java with NPAPI support, but Apple hasn't done that on Mac yet.
Is this a dupe of bug 534866 or bug 534863, then?
Bug 534866 was windows-only IPP, and bug 534863 is OOPP only if there are spaces in the plugin path (which is normally windows-only). So I don't think this bug is a dup of either of those.
Testing with the latest m-c hourly build, Java now will load thanks to the fix in bug 534866, however, with dom.ipc.plugins enabled, Java apps still will not load.

change title to reflect the change in behavior.

Summary: OOPP: Java will not load whether ipc is on or off → OOPP: Java will not load whether ipc is on
Jigzone.com loads fine for me, but when I click on a puzzle link, the 16 December build of Minefield crashes. No crash reporter popup either. I have HTML5 enabled and IPC enabled.

Summary: OOPP: Java will not load whether ipc is on → [OOPP] Java will not load
With today's nightly, it seems that the e10s merge into m-c has fixed somthing, Java now loads with the IPC.plugin pref set to 'true', and no crashes here at jigzone.

If others are ok, will close this shortly...

Flags: in-litmus?
https://litmus.mozilla.org/show_test.cgi?id=11591 added to Litmus to test Java functionality if it is enabled. There seems to be some other Java tests that somehow are in the Popups/Annoyances part of the BFT and I will probably either sunset them or move them into Plugins component.
