Something very bad happened. I don't know what to do, so I am going to exit :(
I detected the issue while running Seamonkey 2.20 on web pages containing embedded Java applets (here's a handy one to test: http://
The workaround is to downgrade the IcedTea6 packages to the immediately preceding version:
cd /tmp
wget https:/

Ahem....
I guess this bug should not have an importance rated "undecided" because, in this moment, as we have no Java from Sun/Oracle anymore in the repositories, we haven't ANY working Java plugin for browsers in LTS repositories....
I think this is very problematic.
I can reproduce this in openjdk-7, built from latest icedtea (2.4.4) and latest icedtea web plugin. It looks like a JDK bug.
Same problem here, but with Firefox 20.0 and amd64 arquitecture. Solved by downgrading to version 1.12.5 as suggested by DurvalMenezes. Packages in this case (amd64) can be obtained from:
