Bug 176280 was marked as a duplicate of this one (156493). For that reason, I'm reporting a new instance of that bug here. It's a bug where the Java fphover package causes infinite warning boxes.
I just experienced this problem again, many years after the previous report, when visiting www.chakraplein.nl/allin_taylor.htm. I am running Java 1.7.0 (the latest). Firefox 19.0.2, Windows XP Home SP3, computer otherwise running well. I have already also entered this info at bug 176280. In my opinion, the problem should be fixed (in Mozilla) because it looks exactly like malware (a phishing attempt to get the user to click OK to gain access to install malware). If someone can replicate this report, I recommend it be fixed since it gives the appearance of being a serious bug (it isn't really a serious problem, but unsophisticated users may not realize that, because it makes the browser stop responding). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2697 Title: Firefox crash when opening an mplayer or Java plugin ubuntu breezy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/2697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
