I can confirm this bug as well, going to
https://www.netbank.nordea.dk/netbank/index.jsp will hang firefox 3 with
sun-java6-plugin and sun-java5-plugin when adblock-plus or no-script
extension are enabled.

At least for me this seems to be a problem with sub-java*-plugin and a
special type of firefox extension such as adblock-plus or no-script.

To reproduce:
1. Install and enable adblock-plus or no-script extension
2. sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java5-plugin

# Freeze with java 1.5
3. update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun
4. start firfox and goto https://www.netbank.nordea.dk/netbank/index.jsp

# Freeze with java 1.6
3. update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
4. start firfox and goto https://www.netbank.nordea.dk/netbank/index.jsp

To fix:
1. apt-get install icedtea6-plugin
2. update-java-alternatives -s java-6-openjdk
3. start firfox and goto https://www.netbank.nordea.dk/netbank/index.jsp # Everything works as it should.
