[Bug 288642] Re: java applets freeze firefox in intrepid

[sebek]

Confirm problem on a fresh install of the webtool SalomeTMF (no direct link to reproduce sorry) with ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. Going to the home page (java applet for authentification) makes firefox freezes. No such problem with Hardy Heron.
Problems with both Sun java6 and OpenJDK IcedTea (set the one you want to use with  sudo update-alternatives --config java ).
Problem not reproduced with epiphany-browser.
The workaround described by amark does not work for me.
