Java pages crash firefox when using socks proxy

[haight6716]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Start with a fresh .mozilla, configure a socks proxy (mine is set to socks4: localhost:1080). Visit a page like http://www.julianhaight.com/yig3.shtml

When that page loads, mozilla crashes.

I'm using danted as my proxy.

My mozilla:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0

(I expect mozilla to keep running, regardless of misbehaving proxies/servers/applets or whatever else).

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I just re-confirmed. The issue still exists.

Firefox 3.0.5.
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06-b02

Maybe this version of java has something to do with the problem? I vaguely recall re-symlinking the java installed to resolve a different problem.

Sorry no-one got back to you. It has been quite a long time since this was updated, therefore can you try this in 10.10 please? Thank you.

[haight6716 (e-launchpad-a-julianhaight-com)]

Thanks Teej. It looks better now (v3.6.10 for ubuntu). Now java is giving me a stack overflow in the console - but I think we can say it's no longer a firefox issue.

[xteejx (xteejx-deactivatedaccount)]

Well that's definitely a step forward. I'd suggest opening another bug report for the Java overflow issue. I have marked this Fix Released.
PS Thanks for getting back to us, and good luck :)
