firefox crashed with SIGSEGV in IcedTeaJNIEnv::NewObject()

[Joakim Andersson]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Just went to http://test.bankid.com (page is in Swedish) and clicked "Nästa" (means "Next") twice. The third page has a java applet.

After approving the certificate, the applet tries to load but firefox crashes almost immediately.

Running Intrepid beta with latest updates.

When running firefox from console, I get the following Java backtrace:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: netscape.javascript.JSObject.<init>(long)

When testing the same applets with Sun's Java applet plugin in a 32 bit firefox, everything works fine.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

which openjdk-6-jre version is this? what plugin does about:plugin show?

[Joakim Andersson (jocke)]

$ apt-show-versions openjdk-6-jre
openjdk-6-jre/intrepid uptodate 6b12-0ubuntu4
(I.E. latest in standard Intrepid)

about:plugins says: (as the only installed java plugin)
IcedTea Web Browser Plugin
    File name: IcedTeaPlugin.so
    The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin executes Java applets.
(I.E. icedtea6-plugin)

Also, the same problem occurs if I use the OpenJDK PPA packages (so I downgraded all packages it upgraded again).

fixed in the PPA
does this report need to be private?

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

doko, no. crashes are private until someone reviews the stacktrace for privacy infos etc. I opened it up now.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

moving to openjdk-6 package - which seems like a better place to track this.

fixed in 6b12-0ubuntu5
