strange URLs generated when using icedtea6-plugin with Firefox 3

[Superkatze]

Binary package hint: icedtea6-plugin

Ubuntu 8.10

If you have installed the icedtea6-plugin and go to http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 with a 64bit Firefox 3 you get an error message about a wrong URL provided. The URL in the address bar looks strange and different every time you do this.

Also affected are other sites who use JAVA. Same strange URLs generated.

the animation is not vertically centered; the URL's are expected.

Strange, for me the dancing dukes top is visible.
Both in the browser as in the appletviewer:
appletviewer http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

If this is still an issue for you, please reopen and provide additional details.

the URL on this page now loads, and redirects you to a page which is not found. The page seems to expect sun java plugins, nothing else. can't be reproduced anymore.
