Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox 3.0.3 in 8.10 crashes on important java applet for Bank-ID. This is used by some banks and some state agencies in Sweden (and also Norway i think) to identify the user.
After upgrading to 8.10 does this applet crash firefox. The cpu-usage for firefox goes to 100% and it stops responding. Other applets work with no problem.
Testing applet (just click Nästa next to the arrow to get to applet page)
Real Bank Applet
https:/
test.bankid.com
I have tried the following with no success
- Turning of ipv6 (blacklisted the kernel module)
- Used sun java 6 and 1.5
- Uninstalled the firefox-
- Run as another freashly created user.
I installed java from www.sun.com/java in /usr/local and it made no difference.
The only thing which worked was then I installed firefox from www.getfirefox.com. It worked with all versions of java.
Running the test-applet with seamonkey also worked but not on the bank web site.
Tested with epiphany 2.24 and the applets works
