firefox 3b5 crashes after a blank windows pops-up

[flbulgarelli]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When entering some web pages (most notabily the Yahoo web based classic mail manager) a blank window appears (to be more precise, a plain Frame with no components in Java-swing terminology), then the tab where the page is open slows down and after some time - it could be just some seconds or a minute o two, Firefox crashes.

It seems to be something related with the IcedTea gcj plugin, but I can't confirm it yet, because the sites where Firefox crashed had no applets. Ill try disabling it for a while.

Here is the stderr produced during a faulty session.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04
