The JUpload applet (http://jupload.sourceforge.net/) is experiencing this issue.
I have tried with the sun-java5-plugin and sun-java6-plugin (the old libjavaplugin_oji.so plugin that is). Both of them make Firefox 3.0.3 freeze. Maybe this is a issue with Firefox 3.0.3 and the old plugin? I removed the symbolic link to the old plugin in a number of places: /usr/lib/xulrunner/plugins/libjavaplugin.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/libjavaplugin.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so I am not sure which of these is actually used by Firefox or if Firefox picks up plugins from a number of places, but removing the link from these places prevented Firefox from discovering the old plugin. Then I added a symbolic link in the $HOME/.mozilla/plugins directory: ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so Now the jupload java applet is working, with the new plugin. -- The old plugin hangs firefox 3 when loading java applets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
