No go for me on lucid 64-bit. Well, Firefox didn't lock up, but Java didn't work, either.
Here's what I did: I visit http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp, click Verifiy Java version, the animation circles for a bit, then goes to a page that says: "Sorry! We couldn't find the document requested." at URL http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp_jre_version=1.6.0_18&vendor=Sun+Microsystems+Inc.&os=Linux&os_version=2.6.32-16-generic I ran it from the terminal, and here's what came out during the attempt: java version "1.6.0_18" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8pre) (6b18~pre3-0ubuntu1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode) java.lang.InterruptedException: sleep interrupted at java.lang.Thread.sleep(Native Method) at sun.applet.PluginAppletViewer.handleMessage(PluginAppletViewer.java:674) at sun.applet.PluginAppletViewer.handleMessage(PluginAppletViewer.java:649) at sun.applet.PluginStreamHandler.handleMessage(PluginStreamHandler.java:270) at sun.applet.PluginMessageHandlerWorker.run(PluginMessageHandlerWorker.java:82) java.lang.InterruptedException: sleep interrupted at java.lang.Thread.sleep(Native Method) at sun.applet.PluginAppletViewer.handleMessage(PluginAppletViewer.java:747) at sun.applet.PluginAppletViewer.handleMessage(PluginAppletViewer.java:649) at sun.applet.PluginStreamHandler.handleMessage(PluginStreamHandler.java:270) at sun.applet.PluginMessageHandlerWorker.run(PluginMessageHandlerWorker.java:82) java.lang.InterruptedException: sleep interrupted at java.lang.Thread.sleep(Native Method) at sun.applet.PluginAppletViewer.handleMessage(PluginAppletViewer.java:629) at sun.applet.PluginStreamHandler.handleMessage(PluginStreamHandler.java:270) at sun.applet.PluginMessageHandlerWorker.run(PluginMessageHandlerWorker.java:82) java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 5 at sun.applet.PluginProxyInfoRequest.parseReturn(PluginProxyInfoRequest.java:65) at sun.applet.PluginStreamHandler.finishCallRequest(PluginStreamHandler.java:338) at sun.applet.PluginStreamHandler.handlePluginMessage(PluginStreamHandler.java:287) at sun.applet.PluginStreamHandler.handleMessage(PluginStreamHandler.java:208) at sun.applet.PluginMessageHandlerWorker.run(PluginMessageHandlerWorker.java:82) -- Firefox hangs while loading Java applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452413 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
