I have been able to fix this java bug in feisty by upgrading new j2re1.4 (1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3). Once the upgrade is done the java applet works fine (I guess that gnomefreak had this package so his feisty's didn't crash.
So let's keep this bug for EDGY only ;) -- Firefox crashes with java applet https://launchpad.net/bugs/92880 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
