Similar behavior when on websites with shockwave content.
Example pages:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/info/en/help/requirements/shockwave.html

For both test cases java and shockwave the system used had the following plugin specifications:

Shockwave Flash

    File: NPSWF32.dll
    Version: 10.3.183.5
    Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183

Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U26

    File: npjp2.dll
    Version: 6.0.260.3
    Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_26 for Mozilla browsers

Maybe hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/f2959b949445 ?

Does this happen on Firefox 5?

I'm unable to reproduce this on any version of Firefox -- however, I am using a VM. Can someone who can reproduce this on Firefox 6 please try to reproduce this on Firefox 5? Thanks

Closing old bugs in the Plugins component. We aren't going to track issues in 3rd-party plugins in the Mozilla bug tracker. In addition, support for NPAPI plugins will be removed at the end of this year; for more details see the post at https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/

If there is a serious bug in Firefox, it needs to be filed in the "Core" product, "Plug-Ins" component.
