729021 - We are facing Applet Window Focus Lost issue in firefox 7.0.1

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[swati]

We are facing Applet Window Focus Lost issue in our existing application.
Our application is totally based on applets, JSP and Struts Framework. It was working fine till Mozilla Version 3.6.12.

It is our client requirement to use the following configurations now:

Our code is build on :
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0.08-jinteg_17_aug_2010_07_03-b00) - (Unix)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 17.0-b17-jre1.6.0.08-rc1, mixed mode)

Windows JRE Version : 6u24, 1.6.0_24-b07
Mozilla Firefox : 7.0.1
Windows Edition : Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit Operating System

With the above configuration we are facing Applet Window Focus Lost Issue. This version of Mozilla fails to handle Applet focus correctly.
The application works correctly in other Browsers.

Please consider this as high priority issue as we have to deliver a solution to our client.

Firefox 7.0.1 is already behind EOL and contains known security holes.
We know that many companies had problems to follow the new rapid Release cycle from Mozilla and Mozilla have now a special Firefox 10 Release with enhanced support (~1year).
You can get this special Firefox (called ESR) here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/

The used JRE version is also already old and contains many security holes....

I have to mark this report incomplete due to the old Firefox and JRE version and missing steps to reproduce (a testcase either attached or as URL is necessary)

I installed Firefox 10.0.1 and tried application with the JRE 1.6.0.24 still I am facing the applet focus lost issue.
first time window opens to front but after clicking on parent window it looses focus and window gets behind the main browser.

We need a testcase or public URL....
BTW: There is a big change regarding Java between 3.6 and the current Firefox version
The java plugin changed from a special Mozilla "oji" Plugin to a general "npapi" plugin that all browsers are using.

The HTML <applet> element and related java functionality was removed from Gecko in Bug 1279218. Marking related bugs as invalid.
