[Freddy Martinez (freddymartinez9)]

which version of java is this? Also, it may be useful for someone to mark this as a java bug.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Is this still an issue for you? We are trying to trying sort out the older Mozilla issues and would like to know if this still happens. Can you please give us the site also. What is output of "java -version" now,

[Onkar Shinde (onkarshinde)]

This is not mozilla issue. This is Java issue which was present in 1.4.x version of Java. Not sure if it is still present in 1.5.x.

The issue is that JRE expects certain property for fonts and when it encounters fonts that do not have this property it crashes.
This issue has been reported in Sun's issue tracker system but I don't know it's status. I should have all this info in old mails and I don't have access to them right now.
There is also a program which will tell you the trouble making fonts and the only workaround I know is to remove those fonts.

Hope this info is useful.

we need a proper crash report.

Firefox crashes after sitting on a site for a few minutes and the mouse is moved to select an object. This also occurs when filling out a purchase on line and the page is left while looking up credit card info etc. Same thing happens, when mouse is moved Firefox crashes.

probably not easily reproducible. Since report does not contain enough info, I am rejecting this bug. If you ever see a crash and get a report out of it, please open a new one.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

JR, if you can reliably reproduce, please follow instructions at

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs#head-c576e78d92cb3c959c271158b6ace98be835de83

and attach the result to this report; reopen bug and set state to "Needs Info" again; optionally add the mt-confirm tag.
