Bug Description
Reproduce:
- Open Firefox 12 or 13
- Go to : http://
- Normally a java applet should appear informing the user that Java is working.
Instead, the web browser hangs a while and freezes. Obliged then to force quit.
I already enabled Java for firefox by removing ICEDTEA plugin and adding a symbolic link to the correct plugin :
/usr/lib/
in ~/.mozilla/plugins
And typing about:plugins reveals that indeed Java is installed in Firefox.
I tried with all firefox extensions disabled but in vain.
-------
System: Ubuntu 12.04 on AMD64 laptop.

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b20)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)

Java works fine in Google Chrome / Chromium / Midori / Opera.

Thanks in advance for your interest.

Thanks, but please have a read of the bug reporting guidelines (https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/MozillaTeam /Bugs), particularly the section "Hangs, or excessive CPU usage" and it's first sentence: "If Firefox or Thunderbird appears to completely lock up, you must provide a stacktrace of the hung process with your bug report. In most cases, hangs are quite random and non-reproducible, so please don't submit reports without this information."
In future, please read the bug reporting guidelines before submitting a bug. We do ask you to do this on the bug submission form
