91609 - Java applet crashes browser - Mozilla 0.9.2

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[John Yorke]

Before installing the java plug-in I was able to open pages containing java
applets but a download plugin pop-up would show up.  After cancelling the pop-up
I would be able to work with the web page but the java applet would show blank
with a cyan puzzle piece.

So that I would be able to see the java content I installed the java plugin for
the Mozilla 0.9.2 browser I am using from the mozilla.org releases page link to
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.0/unix/linux22/xpi/jre.xpi.

When I visit sites with Java content now, the browser crashes immediately
without an error message or core dump.  An example of the sites I can not access
is www.gtaa.com.  I am using RedHat 7.1 and Ximian Gnome 1.4.

WFM linux build 2001072021 but I'm using the java run time environment 1.3.1
downloaded from http://java.sun.com
Try downloading the newer JRE and replace the plug in manually.
